Really bad product........2006-03-29

Hi,

The router function works as expected.
Unfortunately I Paid for the printserver too.
It does not work with my Epson Stylus cx4100,D-Link could
at least put a list of actual supported printers in its web site.
Altough its such an old product it is still sold in Brazil.

Good but ????.......2005-11-19

I can't give 5 stars for this product. I use it as my main router. It works but sometimes it crashes and I have to go through some pains to recover it. When I tried to upgrade it through the dlink website it is another problem. So I am still running it like the way it came. Concerning the built-in print server it worked one time since then I never got that working again. I don't recommend it. It is not a stable product.

Good for Print Server - Not tested the router.......2005-04-23

As nowadays everything is becoming a router I have not yet had the oportunity to test the router of the DI 704UP. I own three of these with different printers (HP 1200 laserjet and Samsung 1210, 1430 and 1450), Finally I found something that is not stated in any documentation of these products. As Linksys Printserver PSU S4 you will have the same inconvenients with D Link: Try not to turn them off. If you do, try to turn back on in a given order, first the print server and then the printer, so you will see the status led of the USB port turn green.

Besides that the print server has worked very well.

I have used the web interface and it appears to have the same functionality as my Linksys Router but you never know.

I bought it for the price and do not regret it as I don't have to have the computers on for a remote user to use the printer.

If it weren't because of the coming back on line problem I would give it a 5 star... for the print server.

Defective products from Amazon.......2005-02-25

I've ordered this router from Amazon; it came defective.
Then a replacement router (same model 704up) - also defective.
D-link tech support was surprised that their new routers were not functioning at all.

Performed as advertised.......2005-01-11

Having recently gotten DSL and having two laptops I wanted to have internet access from both independently. This device allowed that and also I was able to share one printer on the same cable goind throught the router; a nice plus.
Installation went smoothly and it was up and running in less than 30 minutes. Doc was good but read it through first.
