Customer Review: Configuration is big task
Summary: 2 Stars
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 I spend almost 8 hrs to solve other wireless network issues.
If you have enough time then it will entertain you.
Customer Review: Actually works as stated
Summary: 4 Stars
I don't have enough room under my desk to put my printers and wanted to shove one off in a closet. Anyways, I sent back a competing product when after multiple attempts to configure it (including trawling through badly written manuals and tech support websites), it still wouldn't work. So I didn't expect much here. However, this works perfectly. The configuration utility actually worked; the network was recognized and except for a couple of seconds delay between sending the print job and when it starts printing, there are no problems. Was up and running in about ten minutes.Customer Review: Works for me
Summary: 5 Stars
It looks like lots of people have had problems with this print server, but I was up and printing in 20 minutes from Windows XP and Linux. I found the documentation sufficient and very straightforward. I guess it helps that the default IP address of the unit fit in with my NAT setup. My only complaint is that it is a bit on the pricy side, but a year from now when I'm still enjoying printing from all of my machines without having to keep a dedicated print serving machine on, I won't miss the few dollars difference between what this cost and what I think it should cost.Customer Review: Difficult setup, works after it gets going
Summary: 3 Stars
I could not get the wireless portion to connect for a while. While searching for a solution, this site was at the top of the list so I decided to post my fix here.
It seems that when the 311U is configured using the ancient-looking PS Admin utility, it has a small bug/feature. PS Admin converts the wireless SSID to ALL CAPS where as my wireless network name has mixed case. Talking directly to the 311U, via a web browser, I was able to set the SSID correctly and get m'self up and running.
Hope this helps.
Customer Review: A Solid Little USB Print Server
Summary: 5 Stars
I too had a little difficulty getting the right IP address of this device so that I could connect to it via my web browser. That was overcome by reading some reviews and the instructions. Amazing huh? hehe.
After getting this thing working, it has been working great and I feel that there is little that needs to be tweaked/modified to make it work just the way you want. Basically you want to share a printer, and that is exactly what this lets you do. I need to upgrade toe 802.11g now though.
