Epinions A painful reminder of the old print servers

by  wildfirefox,  Jul 26, 2006
Pros: If you're an IT, every thing works well with a bit of patience.
Cons: Average person will have a hard time with the unit.
The Bottom Line: I wouldn't recommend this unit to anyone unless you have IT knowledge. Stick with Netgear, Belkin, or built-in print server wireless router.
Review: Printer server had been the pinnacle of networked printing, but the WPS54G Print Server is a falling point of any networked-wireless printing. The layout: Linksys DSL Router Linksys WAP54GX for wireless broadcast/receive WPS54G wireless print ...

Epinions Finally Got The Wireless Working

by  benthardunthat,  Oct 1, 2006
Pros: Small footprint, good looks, wireless. Good WWW Community support, not Linksys.
Cons: Setup leaves you hanging & Didn't cover my setup. The simplist setup isn't detailed.
The Bottom Line: Recommended (so far)! Once you get past the setup,or have someone experienced with this unit do it for you, it's a great little device.
Review: For those that had the same problem, where it works great as long as it's wired.... then loses it when goin Wireless.. Here's what worked for me after many hours of trial 'n error. First, like the other reviewers mentioned, the setup needs some ...

Epinions danger!, danger! Will Robinson...

by  eddie-rascalle,  Sep 3, 2005
Pros: None, except its not very heavy to carry back to the store for a refund
Cons: Had better luck wireless printing to an empty Wheaties box
The Bottom Line: Professional installation should be recommended for non-tech people -- can't yet speak to the function after installation
Review: This is more of a caution than a review of the product, or perhaps it can be considered a review of the customer service and documentation for the product. I was hoping that some of the negative review issues I had read on other sites about the ...

Epinions Everything you came to expect from linksys

by  arthurmnev,  Apr 5, 2006
Pros: you can telnet in!
Cons: small, well packaged.
The Bottom Line: dont bother, linksys continues to put out low grade products without QA.
Review: If you have Minolta Printer - dont bother with this device, it will not work based on tech support comment "... it is not compatible..." - I just wish they would have put it on the box in big bold letters. As with all other linksys products (I should ...

Epinions Utter Trash

by  smasharolla,  Oct 13, 2005
Pros: Wireless connection was easy to set up for a 128bit WEP key. Very small size.
Cons: unstable and got hot to the touch when running.
Review: It looks like the previous person got this right on the nose. This one is absolute trash, so stay away. Not knowing any better, I picked this up without doing a search for ratings of it and I was very sorry. I got the wireless working after about ...

Epinions Bad print server, good door stop

by  mikestraw,  Apr 17, 2006
Pros: I can't think of any.
Cons: Does not work for more than a few hours.
Review: I wish I would have read the reviews before purchasing. I have a house full of Linksys equipment including a Linksys wireless router. To cut right to the quick, this print server can not hold the wireless signal for more than 1 day. Once the wireless ...

Cons: doesn't work with Linksys wireless security (WPA or WEP) turned on

Epinions Firmware upgrade from 6046 to 6049 removes WPA option !!

by  mroset,  Jan 17, 2006
Pros: Burns well when thrown in the fireplace
Cons: Too many to state here....
Review: Just upgraded the firmware of the WPS54G to try and solve major problems with the device (unable to hook-up to the wireless network, unable to set fixed IP-address in Web-utility etc.). I went from 6046 to 6049 and found that where 6046 still offered ...
