I tried three other USB print servers before this WAVLINK product - all-in-all, this unit keeps the R260 connected in the simplest way - nothing to launch in the background to connect to the printer. I am using the Ethernet connection instead of the wireless - personal preference there. The WAVLINK also has a WAP feature and a Ethernet bridge feature which can come in handy. Long & short, this unit puts the Epson on the network as if it had a factory network interface card (NIC) installed.
Easy setup on 3 Vista and one XP PC. Took me about 30 minutes once I opened box. Set static IP on router, install software, deleted any local printers, add printer found HP Photosmart 8150. Tested and worked. One PC is wireless, but since on network, no big deal to setup.
This thing is tiny, the pictures here don't give you an idea on how small the device really is, it's smaller than a deck of cards. I was able to install it under my desk very discretely. Follow the quick install guide and you can easily get this working on your network. Most people don't default their network to the .0. subnet (read 192.168.0.1 subnet..... most default to the 192.168.1.1 subnet). Either way, the setup guide on the provided CD guides you thru setting up on your own network subnet. Follow this and you cannot go wrong. Also, set an IP on the print server and give it a static IP on your router to keep things always working. I added 3 more hard wired PCs, and 1 wireless PC on my network with ease by following the user guide and everything worked great. My printer is a work horse LaserJet 1320 and this print server greatly expanded the capability of it.
Does not require fancy setup Does not require custom software
