Tech Made Freaking Easy

Pros: Set up was a breeze. Instructions were spot on.

Cons: None so far.

I bought a refurbished netgear wireless print server from Fry's and it was terrible. Instructions didn't even seem like they were for the same product. And set up was so difficult.

Then when i went to bestbuy i saw this dlink one for 79.99

only 20$ more than the netgear POS. Luckily Fry's gave me a full refund.

This thing is SO easy to use.
the instructions were EXACTLY what i needed to do. Everything was intuitive.

The only thing that might be a little advanced is... the initial set up.

you must chage your computer/laptops ip address to static to be on the same ip range as the default ip setting for the print server. (there are clear intructions and pictures of what exactly needs to be done)

Once you do that... you can change the print server ip to be in the range of your wireless router's and change your computers back to dynamic ip.

After that..its just a matter of
going to a browser
typing in that ip address in the url

choosing set up ... and doing the 4 step wizard and voila, you are printing.

takes only like 5 minutes to set up 3 laptops

this DLINK dpr-1260 wirelss print server is truly tech made easy.
