Rating: - Hard to install
Although I'm not a computer novice, this unit was hard to install. While the green LAN (Ethernet) light came on when plugged into the router or DSL modem, it didn't work when plugged directly into my PC or laptop. Someone here wrote that in such case you need a "crossover" ethernet cable (or adapter). THANK YOU! I learned that routers have the smarts to figure our what type of unit is plugged in, and automatically assign transmit and receive signals to the proper pins. My PC and laptops didn't do ...

Rating: - Works Great, after you're done setting up it up...
The server works great on my HP 2200. It's fast, reliable and can be easily velcro-ed to the side. Downside, it's got to be the single most difficult piece of hardware I've ever had to setup. NO WIZARD! Anyway, I followed the instructions to the letter and after setting my network IP address back to normal, the box would cease to work.

Rating: - Configuration is big task
I bought the product 2 weeks before and I have a thought this will work with all printers but not. D Link technical support is very bad I called at least 10 times to find my printer is compatible or not.
User manual is not complete so configuration is very difficult. Changing the IP Address manually and re assigning the new IP Address is very difficult. And it cause problem for other wireless divices (Mouse,Keyboard,Wireless web camera and External wireless hard disk). Because of this product ... Read More
