Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Cisco-Linksys Wireless-G Print Server with Multifunction Printer Support
Customer Review: Great Wireless Print Server, but some problems with setup
Summary: 5 Stars
I installed this unit on 3 laptop computers, one with XP and two with Vista Home Basic. It took me two days to do it because I didn't completely understand the installation instructions. Once I got the technuque down, it took less than 45 minutes total and about 20 minutes for each additional computer. The instruction manual is actually on the provided CD so the only written documentation is the "Quick Installation" guide. These are things to remember before and during installation. 1. The desired printer must be setup and able to run from the computer via the USB cable before installation is starated. Test the printer first before you start. 2. You can use the provided CD to install or you can download from Linksys the "setup wizard" and run it from your hard drive. If you download from Linksys, it is a ZIP file that must be expanded and the start up is "Wizard.exe" Running it from your hard drive is faster. (There are probably two different set up programs in one, for XP it is ver 1 and for Vista it is ver 1.1) 3. There are two separate procedures that must be performed. The first sets up the print server. I used the "Manual" step up as I think it was easier to enter the SSID of the router as well as the pass phrase and other information. There was a problem with determining the actual encription method of the router, WEP, WPA, WPA2, (TKIP and AES) so before you start this setup make sure you know what exact encription method the router is set for, it must be exactly correct for the print server to work. 4. When the "quick installation" guide says to connect the power supply to the printer and/or the print server, it means to not only connect the power supply, but to power them up. Also, when you power up the printer and/or the print server, let them complete boot up before you click on "NEXT". 5. The second step to the process is to set up the computer. While the print server must be only set up once, each computer must be set up separately. 6. When the written instructions and on screen wording says to close down all other running programs, LEAVE YOUR INTERNET SECURITY PROGRAM RUNNING. I turned Zone Alarm off and it then blocked all of the access when I tried to print after installation. On a Vista machine with Norton IS, this was not a problem as long as you leave the program running. 7. Play close attention to the screen as you will have to accept the "unapproved" program to install several times as well as allow the installation with VISTA. Now that the print server is installed, it works like a champ with a HP Color LaserJet 1600. My firmware version on the print server is 1017 from the factory which is the latest. If you do not have this version, other reviews have suggested that you update to the latest firmware version if you are running Vista. I hope this not only encourages you to purchase the Linksys WPSM54G wireless print server, but help you install it.
