Terrible 
2008-05-14
A lot of kinks that you need to reset the router for. I need to turn this router on and off to reset it in order to fix a problem with it at least once a day. This has to be better routers out there that are not this much of a hassel.
Horrible Product! Stay away! 2008-04-30
If you like that frustrating feeling that comes from a sporadic network connection than this is the product for you. This thing just randomly drops of the network several times a day (particularly if you're printing something over a page long). If you really want to pull out your hair, try getting it to print page 2!
Works great as a networked print server 
2008-04-17
I have a Brother multi-function printer directly connected to this via an Ethernet port. I have not yet tried the USB ports for printer hookup. This unit logs into a DLink N router in another room and my wireless laptops have full access to the printer including fax services.
I reserve network addresses on the DLink router after things seem to work, but this is not necessary. Remote devices often must do a DHCP IP retrieval rather than use use a fixed IP sometimes, so that the wireless routing devices know they are there; perhaps the wireless routers could be better at scanning.
This product does what I wanted it to do. I also turned on security (WPA2) without a problem.
Trash 2008-04-11
I have thrown it away, after I spent an evening trying to configure it.
I have extensive experience with networking, both, at work and at home, but this thing defeated me. The user guide is totally useless. I had to google pver and over again, to find pieces of relevant information. Like, to even be able to connect it with cable, one has to reconfigure all his network, to make sure all IPs start with 182.168.0...This box ignores DHCP -- its IP is always 192.168.0.102, no matter what. Its wireless security is broken. And, in the end, it simply does not work. What a waste of money, and more importantly, time!
Great product! 2008-03-28
Very easy to set up. Integrated well with my existing newtork with a Netgear router, including security settings. Well worth the money!
Difficult installation; great product 2008-07-25
This took about three hours to install: two hours on the phone with Netgear and another hour on the phone with AT&T. We installed it through the Uverse router and it works great. Simply following the installation steps included with the print server wasn't sufficient.
Awsome Print Server 2008-07-13
I have several pieces of equipment in my front room that needed an internet connection, and I did want to run ethernet cables all all through my house from my router in my bedroom. I had a friend recommend the Netgear WGPS606 wireless Print Server. So I took my buddy's suggestion and purchased the Netgear print server at a very good price at Amazon.com. I now have everything hooked up and working like a charm, and it is all wireless. I couldn't ask for better. It was not hard to hook up, and configure.
Didn't work as expected 
2008-06-12
Perhaps it's just me (this is the first time I've tried a wireless print server), but I didn't realize that it also serves as your wireless access point (talking to your wireless router) for your PCs. This seemed very awkward to me, and didn't work as well as I expected (another point of interference for the internet connection, and seemed to act funny when printing). It also didn't work with one of my printers, but they do warn against that and have a website to check this, so while I can't really complain about it, it does impact usability of the server.
Mac use 2008-05-28
This print seerver will not work with a Macintosh running the Leopard operating system, although. according to Netgear it might with system 10.4. Tried for hours with no luck so returned product. Best to use Airport Express, not to mess with any other print server.
Works with Brother MFC 8440 2008-05-19
I bought this and had wireless print capability on 3 laptops within about 20 min. I bought it refurbished and it works fine. One of my printers, a Brother MFC-8440 isn't listed as either compatible or uncompatible on the netgear website, but i tried anyway and am glad I did. Works great, easy to setup and utilities are downloadable from netgear.com
