Absolute horror
I just wanted to connect a PC with Windows 10 to the Pocket-sized Wireless print server for wireless printing. Impossible with Windows 10. All links from the online description can NOT be opened. Neither with Fire Fox nor Chrome. The software mentioned in the manual cannot be downloaded at all. I had tried for too long. Absolutely useless manual.
Contra
- Installation
- Everything!
Perfect part
Was able to use it to get my old printer working again
Difficult setup / not 100% working
Device mainly intended for the Windows universe! Configuration was languid and difficult under Mac OS... not to mention that the French support sent us to an English document! Fortunately, I understand this language well and was finally able to connect the device to my wi-fi, then have it recognized by the computer...
But when transmitting a document to the connected printer, the printer gets stuck! So there is a problem in the data transmission that I will try to solve, but if I don't succeed, I will have to return it and ask for a refund!Pro
- compact size
- low price
Contra
- difficult configuration on Mac
- unrecognised data formats
Does its job sometimes needs a little nudge.
I ordered this thing two years ago. I'm not sure anymore, but I think it was a bit cumbersome to set up. I had to assign a fixed IP for it to work and a restart is necessary from time to time. But otherwise it runs flawlessly. I use it with an Epson receipt printer.
Error purchase may only work with TP-Link Wifi Router
Tried to connect to Synology
Router 1900 and 2600 -> did not work. Via internal web server with Mac and with Windows (utility and internal web server). Could never use the TP-Link device with the Synology router in Infrastructure Mode. Gave up after a few time-consuming attempts.The percentages and the costs for shipping would have been better invested elsewhere.
Not to be used because installation for laymen on Win 10 is hardly or not possible.
Pro
- Small and handy
- If it had worked - good value for money
Contra
- Installation not possible
- Many instructions in English
- Missing error overview
- Expensive or missing support
