Netgear WGPS606 Wireless G Print Reviews

REVIEW BY: EJ Reviewed Dec 04, 2007

I do not recommend Netgear WGPS606 Wireless G Print Server product as a print server, but I do recommend it as a WiFi/Ethernet bridge (not access point). The types of print devices you can attach are limited, and you will only be able to use print capabilities of multi-function devices (as is the case with most print servers of Netgear WGPS606 Wireless G Print type). If all you want is a single WiFi print server, you're better off with a less-expensive device dedicated to that proposition. This device DOES act as a WiFi bridge by providing 4 Ethernet ports to which you can connect other computers and - ethernet print servers - to your LAN. You can also extend the network even further by attaching switches and routers to this device. It is not difficult to manage via browser, and provides link status useful for determining the strongest WiFi channel to set on your router.

Have to say wasn't overly impressed. The range on the unit is standard. Netgear WGPS606 Wireless G Print Server will not works/double as an access point. I had it connected to just my laptop and setting it up and with in an hour Netgear WGPS606 Wireless G Print Server was very toasty. It kept conflicting with an IP address on my network and was difficult to assign an IP address to. I wasn't able to figure out it's MAC address for wireless mac filtering. I would prob buy just a very good stand alone switch and a different print server. This all in one just didn't do what I wanted it for. BUT I did like and Netgear WGPS606 Wireless G Print was easy to configure two sepearate printers. If you are just hooking it up via cat5 then this unit will work for you no problem.

I purchased the unit recertified which was quite a bargain. Had minimal difficulties with setting it up and no trouble with wireless MAC filtering. The trick is to use the wireless MAC address - not the hardware MAC address. If you are looking for a WiFi/Ethernet bridge (not an access point) and a print server and you don't care about feedback from the printer this device is a good solution.
