Summary: Printer Alert
Review: Just to save many of you time, I found out via Linksys tech support that this product does not support multi task printers (fax, scan, printer, copier).

Summary: Great Product
Review: I got my Linksys Wireless Printserver yesterday, and had it up and running in less than 5 minutes, following only the instructions in the "Quick Installation" guide. This compact little box replaced a bulky old PC that I had been using as a print server for an old HP Laserjet IIP printer and works great.

Summary: Poor instructions, won't configure..going in the trash!!
Review: I have a Linksys wireless network with 3 computers and a cable modem/router. The WAP's were easy to set-up and work very good. HOWEVER, this WSP11 is BAD NEWS. After reseting the unit 3 times I was finally able see in on the network in the admin tool, however after that one time, it was gone for good. The instructions are confusing and complicated. I can run a cable faster than the set-up time required for this device. I do not recommend.

Summary: Very good, complicated, product
Review: I bought the WPS11 to use with my Brother 1440 laser printer. I wanted to be able to print to the Brother from three computers (2 desktops and an Apple notebook). The WPS11 setup is a bit confusing as there are two sets of installation routines to run and for a networking novice it can be intimidating. However, after stepping through the required installation instructions I did get the printer to work. I can now print to the Brother from my two desktop PCs using the supplied wireless driver. I can print to the Brother from my Apple iBook using Appletalk. All in all I'd say that it is a very good product. I love being able to put my printer anywhere there is an electrical outlet and being able to print to it from all my computers.

Summary: Not so easy to set up
Review: Unlike most Linksys products that I'm fond of, the printserver was difficult to set up. Once configured, it worked as advertised, but as a person significantly more experienced with Wi-Fi than the average consumer, I was disappointed by how much networking knowledge was required.Also, it's important to know that each computer from which you intend to print, must have a new Linksys software driver installed. Once installed, you must run a configuration routine to handshake with the printserver (on each computer). I happen to also have an Adobe Distiller print driver installed on one of my Windows XP laptops, and it rendered it inoperable. I will still use the Linksys printserver because the alternative of running cable is not a pleasant one, but be prepared to spend some time setting it up. Better yet, find a knowledgable friend and ask them for help.

Summary: Good but....
Review: Pretty good print server. The response time is great. I've used it with both my Brothers Multifunction machine and a lowend Canon inkjet. Both worked great. The setup it simple on my wired/wireless networks ... my only complaint is of its strictly parallel interface. These day, being forced to buy/use a printer with that interface(as opposed to USB) will greatly limit your selection and therefore the usefulness of this device. But if that's not an issue... this machine is great!

Summary: Dirt cheap and it's great to move a printer anywhere.
Review: I now have 4 of these and am ordering my fifth. If your not using security then these are totally easy to set up - if you are going to use security then you need to connect it to your LAN first. It took me a bit of time to set up, and had to cycle the power a couple of times, but once I got it set up it worked great. The reception is excellent. I have it on a cart with my laptop and can move freely in a 22000 square foot shop. Great for mid size businesses. Oh two more things - they can take abuse.. I use it in a wood shop and dust does not seem to kill it. Amazon also have the best door to door price after checking at pricegrabber.com.

Summary: Wow - what a frustrating experience
Review: I just purchased one of these - thinking it would be easy to install much like the Linksys Router and separate Wireless Access Point/Router that I had purchased previously. To date, I have not been successful in making this thing work with my network. On top of it, this unit has an annoying high-frequency tone (defective?). The instructions are totally useless and using instinctive steps doesn't really get you anywhere. It sounds like from reading other reviews that this unit has trouble establishing an IP, I will attempt to force an IP using my DHCP settings. If that does not work, I will have to get assistance from one of those "helpful" phone tech support folks at Linksys. I am not sure this product is ready for prime time!

Summary: Not Wireless
Review: I just got off the phone with tech support. The person told me that this could not be used as a wireless print server?! I was trying to connect this to the Wireless Access Point (BEFW11S4) as shown in the documentation that comes with the product. Don't buy this for the technical support.

Summary: Lousy tech support and poor documentation
Review: First off, this item doesn't work with multi function machines. This minor fact isn't shown anywhere on Amazon.com, and was only revealed to me by Linksys after pulling my hair out for an hour trying to set it up on my own, and then another hour going through all sorts of things with one of their...techs. Finally, the jerk asked about the printer, and when I told him it was an HP 4 in 1 laser machine, he said the two won't work together. Fortunately he wasn't nearby because I could have choked him!
