What customers say
Customer experience with this print server is sharply divided, centering almost entirely on the setup process. Users who manage the initial configuration praise the device for its excellent value, successfully enabling wireless printing for older USB printers in home or small office settings. They appreciate the cost effective functionality. Conversely, the dominant negative feedback highlights a frustrating and nonintuitive installation. Many report significant technical hurdles, including issues with modern operating systems and security protocols. Long term users also cite recurring connection drops and reliability concerns. While the device offers great potential functionality when working, the difficult learning curve and potential instability make it best suited for technically proficient individuals.
