User Reviews for US Robotics Wireless MAXg Router with integrated USB Print Server

Reviewed by: gamerpro2000

Duration of ownership: 6 Months

Strengths: Very cheap. Nice features. Works well most of the time.

Weaknesses: Configuration via wireless can cause the router to drop the internet until it is reset. Print server can be tricky to set-up for All-in-one printers (Go here for a guide: starfighterzone.awardspace.com).

Overall Evaluation: A very nice router for the price, but not for a hard-core downloader. I have to reset mine every once and a while when I'm downloading something big. All in all, though, very nice job US Robotics.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: printer usb for network use, wifi

Weaknesses: instability of wifi and printer

Overall Evaluation: The wifi signal invariably drops off every few weeks or so unexplicably. It may have been working fine an hour ago surfing off the laptop in the next room, and then when you come back later it's down. Easy fix sometimes, unplug and replug power to the router otherwise, need to reboot cable internet box first. This is a permanent hassle. The printer configuration doesn't stick either. The printer will work fine for weeks then, suddenly be gone. It's work plugged into a host pc but the router has lost it. Solution, eliminate the printer and reinstall, and it works again for all network machines. Another pain in the derriere. When it works, it's a good router for mixed network of hard cabled and wifi with printer services, without needing to leave any PC permanently on as with printer through a host.
