| Review | Rating | Last Updated | Great to Use, Hard to set up
This product works well once set up. It occassionally needs a good reboot(i.e. disconnect and reconnect the power) to work but it generally is a great little product. That said, the setup is a drag and a bit complicated. This is unavoiadable, especially if you enable WEP or security on you network. However, if you follow the instructions to the letter, its not so bad. I generally know how my electronics work and figure out how to set them up ad-hoc, but this little guy is a little harder to get up and running than most. If you buy it, give yourself a bit of time and don't be impatient trying to set it up. Getting it right might take a few tries. But ultimately when it works its a dream, you can stick the printer in the closet and print to it from there without the office clutter. | 4 | Today | Not that flexiable, but good tech support
The IOGEAR reviews mentioned that they were easy to install. I found that it wasn't really the case. The first thing not mentioned in the instructions is that all firewalls have to be turned off. Next while there may be a lot of printers supported, they don't work with the Lexmark X125 (long shot that it would work for an all in one type), or the HP Phtotsmart 8100 series printer either. The good thing is that their tech support is very helpful and will take the time to work though the installation process. So for the flexibility I give it a 1, and for tech support a 4, for a 2.5. It would probably be a good idea for IOGEAR to post known and unknown printers that they are compatible with. | 2 | Today | Does not work w/ NETGEAR WGR614 Router
Warning! This print server does not work with the NETGEAR WGR614 router. A tech support person for IOGEAR told me that they just can't get these two specific product models to communicate. Their tech support was very friendly though. | 1 | Today | This one actually works!
I've tried wireless print servers from Linksys and Netgear. As you can see from their reviews, they are a pain to setup and don't work realiably. This one actually works!! Finally I'm happy with a wireless print server. Fairly easy to set up too. No WPA though in case you need that. | 5 | Today | Work Flawlessly with both XP and OS X!!!
I set up this print server with my Samsung ML-1710. A Windows PC with wireless connectivity is required for first time SSID and WEP Key configuration. I use a PC with Windows XP and my wife uses iBook G4. On the XP machine, I installed the printer as indicated in the manual. On the iBook, I used IP Printing (HTTP), not AppleTalk, with the URL "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/lp1" in Windows IIP section of the manual. Both machines can now print via the print server flawlessly. Mission accomplished.
Note: Good owner's manual for Windows. However, it doesn't say anything about Mac OS X installation, only Mac 8.x and 9.x. | 5 | Today | Works perfectly, easy to set up!
After months of fighting with my Linksys print server (a nightmare to configure, lousy documentation, constant "Could not connect to print server" errors when I tried to print, etc.), I finally decided to toss it and try an IOGEAR wireless print server. Setup was a breeze...the step-by-step instructions walked me through the process perfectly. Even with a unique SSID and WEP encryption enabled, it took me less than 10 minutes to install and configure the print server for two computers. Everything worked the first time, exactly the way it's supposed to. These days, I expect headaches and hassles with new technology, so this was a welcome surprise. I couldn't be happier with it! | 5 | Today |
