I just got off the phone with tech support. The person told me that this could not be used as a wireless print server?! I was trying to connect this to the Wireless Access Point (BEFW11S4) as shown in the documentation that comes with the product. Don’t buy this for the technical support.

Bought this from Amazon – what a piece of crap. Don’t waste your money – go with netgear.

so i bought this and brought it back to new zealand with me. to sum up my experience i spent 2 full weekends trying to get it to work. after the first weekend extravaganza i had some in depth conversations with the IT department at work to help me bone up on my networking skills. but even that i wasn’t able to get it to work. there is no tech support in new zealand. i tried to contact singapore for support, but somehow got transfered to japan. after a lot of confusion, i decided to pay the price to call the states for tech support. the support dude spent 30 minutes on the phone with me and determined that he couldn’t help me. “maybe is faulty” he said. the hassle and cost of mailing a product back to the states means that the item is still sitting at home. i should probably see if there is a guy at work with more time to waste than i have to play with toys–i work with a lot of geeks!
to sum it up. if you have a lot of time. if you like bad user guides. if you like talking to useless tech support staff. if you got [money] you were thinking of burning. if you buy electronics for the sport and adventure of it…then this is a product for you. in fact the whole class of products. from all the reviews i have read the competing products on the market offer equivalent value. it is very unfortunate, because i would like to buy one that works after i have paid the price.

Linksys Customer service has little to be desired I spent 12 hours trying to get this hooked into my Linksys router and system
After being hung up on 2x be on hold for over 2hrs in total I was told it was windows problem..one tech was reading some manual im sure 1 word at a time and shouting at me to write stuff down…they dont speak english too well, finally I was told since my new Lexmark printer was only USB cable ready and no parrallel cable it was incompatible….oh yeah and no list is available on what printers are workable….but the kid swore at Best Buy that it would all work…….NOT!
Returned it…will wait for a better product! I would not purchase this and if you gave it to me its nothing but lessons in aggravation and sheer nonsence. Someone at Linksys needs to do some Quality Assurance! Oh and BEST BUY you need it too!

Linksys must not have a Quality Assurance department. I have had two units in a row that were bad “out of the box.” I spent one hour on the phone with tech support, each time, for them to figure that out! Set up instructions assume that anyone running a wireless network does not enable security since there are no instructions on how to do that. I highly recommend that you do not purchase this product!!
