What customers say
This print server offers excellent value by enabling older USB printers for network sharing, which users appreciate for cost savings. The core concept of providing basic, shared printing access is functional and reliable for many. However, the primary drawback is the difficult setup process. Configuration is frequently described as complex, requiring significant technical skill for tasks like IP assignment and software installation. Furthermore, advanced printer features such as scanning are often unsupported. While some users enjoy stable, long term operation, others report frustrating connection drops. This device is best suited for technically proficient users prioritizing budget over a seamless, feature rich experience.
