Everything you came to expect from linksys
Date of Review: Apr 5, 2006
The Bottom Line: dont bother, linksys continues to put out low grade products without QA.
If you have Minolta Printer - dont bother with this device, it will not work based on tech support comment "... it is not compatible..." - I just wish they would have put it on the box in big bold letters.
As with all other linksys products (I should have thought of that before i bought it) this device would not pass any QA.
you cant seem to set up normal wep key (passphrase only)
in my case (in addition to minolta problems) it worked fine over wired connection, wizard would be able to find it over wireless. but.... wireless functionality is 1/2 done :) - after wizard finds the device it could not connect to it and suggested that I change my system's ip address to be on the same segment as the print server. Well... lets see 192.168.1.6 / 24 was the ip of the print server and 192.168.1.100 /24 was the ip of the system the wizard was running on. for all those that dont know what it means - it is the same subnet. Someone should give those wizard programmers a cup of joe...
In short - wired worked, wireless didnt and neither one of them printed because of "incompatible device"....
why did i give this wonderful device 1 stars instead of demanding one back? - you could telnet into the print server and discover the two commands available: help and monitor ..- genious.
Sidebar: if you call tech support be prepared to deal with some severe voice over ip latency to india (i guess) from time to time tech rep would disappear into the void of the internet to emerge few minutes later totally oblivious to the fact that I missed a few minutes of the conversation.
