Cisco-Linksys Wireless-G 802.11g Print Server - WPS54G Review

Originally installed and worked fine. After 2 months it stopped connecting to the wireless network, then it stopped connecting even with a wired connection. And my WPS54G box seems to be getting really hot, almost too hot to hold in my hands. Okay things happen it's still under warranty so I'll just replace it right? Not right! It has been mentioned by other reviewers that when you call Linksys support, they ask you on your router before they even get to the print server. But it's not just…

After spending hours trying to print this and searching their support site. I ended up looking for my printer on their forums. It turned out that this server is not compatible with the HP Color Laserjet 3500 and 3600 series. Everything else worked fine for me and I managed to borrow a friends printer to see if it worked. Before you buy this server, go to the support forums [.] and search for your printer and see if there are any problems with it. There is no list of compatible printers anywhere

But after a few months my…

The only reason I bought another one was because all my other wireless products were Linksys. This time I attached a large heatsink to one side. This one works much better. With all the hassle of setting up my router, print server, range extender (all Linksys), I wish I had chosen another provider. Now after about a year my…

This unit was quick and easy to install with good instructions. It prints remotely but doesn't show the ink levels on the computer and the print server doesn't show up on the network. After much trouble and troubleshooting at Linksys, they admitted that the device was not Vista compatible, that there were no Vista drivers available for download, and that they had no idea if a Vista driver would ever be available. It's disappointing that a year after the release of Vista, a supposedly good…
