Network LPR Print Server
I bought it and am using it to share a label printer at a company.
The settings are a bit loose, but I've been using it for 5 months without any problems, I like it.

Same Problem as Jacky dropping off the network
Bought this and set it up, it works for a few and then drops off of the network .. cannot ping it nor can I browse the server ... tried to set it to a static address and with dhcp and the same thing happens. Only solution is to disconnect the power and reconnect it. I had the same thing happen with two different adapters. had to remove them from the network and find ano...

OK for a while...
Installation was quick and easy (with the "wizard"). Unfortunately, the device is no longer functional since the release of Windows 24H2. The PC reports the printer is present, but print jobs appear to get lost in the queue. Old tech is old tech...

It works, but...
I had to tinker with this a little bit to get it to work because I am using Windows 10 and I believe the drivers on the cd included are for earlier versions of Windows. This caused me to have to go to this website to download the print server software. My complaint with this product is that the router I use does not acknowledge that it loaned out the dhcp address that...

Works fine
Set up a small number of users to an old Brother printer on this and had no issues, Miles better than using one of the PCs as a print server.

No Default Gateway Option
I cannot believe I'm saying this in 2021. You can only specify the IP and Subnet, the device does not support in anyway a Default Gateway. So if you are planning to use this across multiple networks or like in my case over a VPN. It will NOT work. I confirmed this was not fixed in the latest firmware either. This product should not be purchased by anyone since it does n...

Finally got it to work reliably!!
After about a year of on and off tinkering I *finally* believe I've found a way to keep this unit from spontaneously disconnecting. Summary: 1. Update the firmware via the USB server program included with the firmware download. 2. Configure the print server with a static IP followed by restarting the printer server. 3. Follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding se...

Constantly Drops off LAN
I bought this product to enable the office to share a USB Dymo label printer. I constantly have to reboot it for it to work even though I have bind MAC-IP on the router. Please update the firmware so this stop causing us issues. Thank you

Mostly useless
I have found the same problems with the device. Stays online for anywhere from 30 seconds to 10 minutes, and then all network connections stop working. Light still flashes, but has to be rebooted. The device is supposed to make printing easy to use... Having to explain to them that "before you can print you have to restart this device every time" is really unacceptable....

Not a bad product.
If you want to get this device to work without dropping add a reserved address for it in your router or print server
