D-Link DP-G310 Wireless Print Server, USB 2.0 802.11g, 54Mbps

My D-Link DP-G310 print server stopped working. Having several home computers already configured to print at the same printer, I chose to simply replace the same server. It was an easy swap out and the printer was back on line immediately!

This device works as advertised on an unsecured and WEP encrypted password, but even with the firmware upgrade that is supposed to enable it to use PSA-TSK, it does not work. It still recognizes the encryption as WEP regardless of setting.

If you follow the included instructions, this print server is very easy to set up. I have had it for about six months now, and it has not given me any problems at all. I am looking at it on Amazon again, because I am recommending it to a friend.

The router was quickly shipped and was as advertized. It replaced the same model router that died on me. This model is not available everywhere. I am satisfied.

very good

This print server promised 802.11g and USB 2.0 compatibility. Configuration and setup was easy. I first tried a Laserjet 3200 (USB 1.1) and then an HP Photosmart 7660 as well as a Canon i80 (USB 2.0). All of these printed ok from different laptops and workstations in the network. However, the status page of the printer reported "Full Speed - 12 MBps" connection between print server and printer. That however is far from USB 2.0 speed (480 MBps). Even though you never get the nominal speeds, there is clearly a problem with USB 2.0 support in this box. D-Link tech support escalated the matter and definitely confirmed that this is the current maximum speed of this unit. I am torn whether or not to return this unit and try the Linksys equivalent instead - after all the it performs ok with this one (albeit major) exception. I recently switched from a Linksys to D-Link router/access point. I am hesitant to give Linksys another try for anything, because after 3 years of experiences with LinkSys wireless routers I am convinced those lack in reach and speed. I have used 3 different models and generations in various office and home environments. My new D-Link DI-624 router beat them all in signal quality and speed.

Fine

After I bought it and had some problems configuring it, I start reading post and almost all of them were bad comments.If what you need to do is just print go for it, I'm currently using it with my Officejet 6110 (while installing you must use the HP 990c driver) but I loose the scanner option because this server does not support it. If you are looking for scanning and printing options you should look for the DPR-1260.
