Review on πŸ–¨οΈ D-Link DP-311U Wireless Print Server - Fast 11Mbps 802.11b, 1 USB Port by Chris Bowden

Revainrating 3 out of 5

very good print server

My home network is pure D-Link, router, adapter, print server and even my USB Bluetooth adapter. I already have a DP311U connected to the laser. Bought another DP311U for an inkjet printer 2 months ago. I have a problem how to tell two identical print servers apart. After some research you just need to set the 2nd server to a different address. Original 192.168.0.10. Then set the 2nd (or 1st) other address like 192.168.0.20 and everything is fine. It seems D-Link is now dropping the DP311U because they have an 802.11g server (DP-G310) and you could sometimes find <$60 DP311U. But believe me, you don't need 11G print server. 11b is fast enough. If you find that it's printing too slowly, you have a printer problem, not a PS problem. The quality of D-Link is good. My router (DI-624) has never died in the last 1.5 years. I would recommend their products.

Pros
  • understandable for the old
Cons
  • communication with the seller
