Does not work with BT Homehub 2.0

 

Does not work with BT Homehub 2.0

Initially when I bought this, I was using the BT homehub 1.5. Before I installed it, I downloaded the new Wizard software and manual from the Edimax website and it worked without a hitch; Thumbs up for Edimax! Then a few days after, BT gave me a new...

Not a good choice!

 

Not a good choice!

Print server constantly locks up. I print from Vista and XP. Have tried using RAW, LPR and IPP. Have to power on and off each time I want to do a print. Does not support WPA2-AES, so I have to use my router in mixed mode. Not recommended.

Works well but difficult to set up

This little device actually works quite well but it seems quite complicated to set up and get working properly. Before you install this, make sure you have installed all your printer drivers first, and as other reviewers have commented, download the...

Nightmare to set up but...

once done it is a great little item. We have 3 computers (2 XP, 1 Vista)linked up to it. Gone are the days of having to take the laptops to the printer (Epson SX200 multifunction) - now we just "control-P-print" from wherever we are! I have not tried...
