Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of NETGEAR PS121 USB 2.0 Mini Print Server
Customer Review: For me a great print server
Summary: 5 Stars
This was not brought from Amazon but I have brought plenty from here so hopefully they will still allow me to review this. This is from another site
This print server priced is the best bang for the buck. I have a samsung laser printer and it works fine. I have a dual band router (Netgear wndr 3700) and it works find on both bands. 2.4 and 5g. The only issue I realized with the software of this print server was at the end you might have to configure the tcp/ip address yourself because for some reason it uses a usb virtual port when it should use a tcp/ip address port. Since I am in the business it was a snap for me but for some people who might not know what I'm even talking about you might run into issues. This just replaced a print server it was a linksys a wps54g and that was terrable. the firmware froze up and the software was awful. Not once was I able to get that ps working. I am so happy I have this server. Even though It's not wireless I don't need it because it's small. Also my router is a dual band. (but with this print server I have no problems printing on either band I'm on unlike the old linksys even though it was wired) I've found in my career that wired products are much more relabile anyway. I don't have a desktop now I'm in and out with my laptop. (with this print server wired into my router) never did I have to reset or reconfigure it. I'm glad I got this. I never lost a connection.
3 WEEKS LATER
This is an update about this print server. I'd say I'm writing this about a month or at least 3 weeks later.
Well I was on vacation for 5 days with nothing hooked up and I've been in and out of the house everyday for my business. Never did I have a problem with it.
This is free advice what I do for all network devices is I get a router with DHCP reservation and make the device on a network a static ip in the router, to double proof it you can make it static in the server like I did with this one. The software you install at times configures the computer with the IP address at the time of installation. So if your power goes out or you turn your stuff off you might get a different ip address when you turn your devices on If that happens the server may not work. (thats what happened with my other printer) If you do it my way will never have a problem. (Providing the server is compatible with your printer) I've found if you just rely on DHCP with no reservation any wireless product you have most likely is goinging to have a problems. So if you understand what I'm talking about try it, if not hire a pro or read up on it.
This is what Technical support is suppose to tell you. Don't even try calling there they may not even understand the concept LOL. Good old USA sellilng it's self out to india, china etc.
I love this server its low cost, Looks like a toy, and it's great it's very reliable for me.
