StarTech.com 1-Port Wireless N USB 2.0 Network Print Server - 10/100 Mbps Ethernet USB Printer Server Adapter - Windows 10-802.11 b/g/n (PM1115UW), White

A pesar de que el servidor está arriba y puedo acceder desde el navegador, el 90% de las veces no imprime lo que hay en la cola de impresión, y tengo que reiniciarlo una y otra vez. Esto desde Windows, desde Mac ni siquiera imprime los trabajos enviados. Cabe destacar que el servidor lo tengo conectado por cable, ni siquiera por WiFi.

Setup is easy do not use the software provided and the instructions tell you nothing. Your router must have a WPS button or a WPS setup wizard (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). Enable the router WPS first then push and hold in the same button on the printserver for about 2 seconds. The 2 devices will find each other. Through your web browser check what the printserver IP address is on the router home page then use that address to get to the printserver setup page. Make the printserver address static not DHCP. To setup the printer just use windows to add the printer as a network printer with the correct model number and IP address. Reserve the printserver address so the router doesn't change it.

Overall ok.

The most important thing to know is that StarTech is a good company, based in Ontario, Canada. And, if you're having trouble, if you call StarTech they can remote into your computer and help you with setup. Knowing that this was a good company based in Canada, I decided to give this a shot. I saw someone had returned it to Amazon, and I was pretty sure that that was because it was too difficult for them to set up. As it turned out, It was pretty difficult to set this up, and it is definitely NOT plug and play! I tried their software method to set this up, and that did not work to fully set up the device. Their software was also only seeing this device if it was connected to the computer via Ethernet. Another thing I ran into is because this was a used product, I had to hit the tiny reset button (with a paperclip in a tiny hole) on the side of the device that says "reset" next to it. The black button on the back of the device is actually for WPS setup, which I have not tried and I don't know if that would work or not, but that button on the back is NOT the reset button! So for me, I had to connect the device directly to the laptop with an Ethernet cable and set it up initially with the wired cable. Set up absolutely would not work using WIFI. I had to set the Ethernet settings to 192.168.1.50 and access the GUI interface at 192.168.1.10 . For me that was the only way to get this thing going, so I had to set up the device in the GUI interface. StarTech support was very helpful in showing me how to configure that. After the device is properly set up in the GUI then you have to manually configure a new printer driver for the printer in Windows to work specifically with this device and you have to follow the instructions in the StarTech manual. I'm using Windows 11 Dell laptops and a Brother HL-L2320D laser printer. It's a good device and they have very good phone support. it's just not a plug-in play device! This was a struggle. At one point, I broke the regular driver so I couldn't plug the printer directly into my laptop with the USB cable, but I ended up fixing that and I ended up fixing this device so it works great now. One of the problems was in the GUI. You have to stay on the tab that you're setting up. You can't go from tab to tab and then hit save. You have to save the settings in the tab that you're currently in, or you lose all the settings you just put in there! So, It was a real struggle, but the support was great and the device is clearly a stable and good device. It's just very difficult to set up! The other interesting thing was I set this to a static address of 192.168.1.200 and I can now reach the GUI at that address, however, for some reason if I log onto my router and look for this device as a connected client, it is completely missing from my router. I cannot find it displayed there as a client, yet it is working perfectly! I recommend the device! So I hope this helps someone!

This is not plug and play hassle free setup. You have to connect it to a wired network, which didn't work for me, two adaptors. The pupose of this was to give un networked office computers access to a printer. I iwll be returning it. Crap
