Normally i dont like Belkin products they often dont do what they promise and are usually hard to set up, this one dose however do the job and in fact was easy to set up. I do use a Belkin router which perhaps helped. I just followed the quick start sheet stage by stage and the unit worked first time. I did not need any additional drivers from the printer disk (hp all in one 100 series) .Print start is quick but printing is a little slow. Belkin supply a network cable (which is needed to set up only) but no USB cable (needed to link the printer during use) which is a mistake in my view. Like many of there products the unit gets quite warm and may act up when over hot as some of the other products do, Biggest problem is (perhaps not one everyone will have) my printer has only one usb port but i want it connected to both my desktop(by cable) and my laptop (by wireless). Can i use a usb hub as a splitter or not? only a test will tell the manual dose not. The unit is pleasingly small and takes up little room. One interesting point, nowhere on the box dose it say that you must have a seperate router for this unit to work, now most people will be using a router on there system but some might buy this product just to link a wireless enabled laptop to a distant printer, if you want to do that then you need to buy a router,should tell you that on the box.That aside the product dose do what is says it will and did it by simply following the steps in the set up sheet so i cant complain on that score, a little overpriced perhaps, a little slow, and the heat is a worry but all in all its OK, no more than that.
