Overall Review: I am an Information Systems Manager. I have a good deal of experience with linksys Products. I have used them for years and never had any major problems. I was looking over the reviews of this product and thought the set up could be challenging. I was able to hook the printer server directly into my current linksys router give it a static IP address right out of the box without any problems. When I went to set up the wireless side I found I could not get it to work unless I put the print server in AD-HOC mode. I decided I would try to call tech support. During my time on hold I found a review online that helped me finish the set up. Once you configure the wireless side of the router you need to pull the Ethernet cable and pull the power from the unit (do not reset the unit). This allows the printer server to switch from wired mode to wireless mode. Once I did this it came up on my wireless network without a problem. I configured the WEP settings and it is now working great.
