I was a little skeptical about trying this since the reviews were pretty mixed. I have a Brother HL-L3290CDW which is a great printer, but within the past year or so has been having issues staying connected to WiFi. Since it does not have an Ethernet port built-in, my only option was to awkwardly connect my laptop to USB when I needed to print something. But otherwise, the printer itself still worked fine, so I didn't want to replace it.This little USB print server saved my printer! Setup was easy, just connect the USB side to the printer, plug the Ethernet side into your router or switch. It comes with a CD with some setup software - I'm sure if you don't have a CD drive on your device, you can find this software online as well (my laptop does not have a CD drive, but my desktop PC does - so I copied the files off of the CD and put them on a USB drive so I could install on my laptop). The software itself is basic with only a few options, the first option runs through a wizard which finds the USB print server device on your network, shows the printer model that the USB print server detected, and allows you to install the printer on your PC. You may have to go to your printer manufacturer's website to download print drivers if your PC doesn't have them automatically.After the initial setup, the printer appeared in my list of printers, and print jobs were now making it through every time, instead of about 25% of the time using the printer's WiFi connection. I'm very happy I tried this device and would recommend it if you have a printer without WiFi / Ethernet, or a printer with a problematic WiFi connection like mine.EDIT: Both my laptop and desktop are Windows 11. The product details don't list support for Windows 11, but I haven't had any issues.

As computers get updated, there are fewer and fewer components to them. Hence the use of an item like this. But alas the installation of this was a bit tedious as the fact the laptop does not have a CD drive. How was I able to install this without it? I was lucky enough to find a webpage with the information I required. Thanks for not providing it in the first place. Oh there is one more thing, there is a thing called a website where it would be possible to download the information so that you don't have to provide a CD, what a concept!.

Both the online literature and enclosed literature in the Box were in contradiction regarding wether my HP LaserJet p1005 printer would work I ended up calling Monoprice and they said it would definitely work both myself and my neighbor who's a computer programmer tried it endlessly with mono prices suggestions and it still didn't work piece of junk

I have ordered one it didn't work at all in windows 7 (print crashes every time), windows server 2016 and 2019 printers won't get added, these are mostly buggy software and not updated, better go with Netgear router with USB (readyshare print) cheaper and works flawlessly

I had this unit connected to our enterprise network, and Initially the unit worked fine, however after I stopped printing labels it required a reboot to start working again. it seems that after 2-4 hours the unit no longer responds to a ping, the web interface is inaccessible and will not print until it is rebooted, then this cycle starts all over again.I attempted to see if this was a fault of the printer being attached, however it does the same thing without a printer attached, it seems to just fall off the network after 2-4 hours. Too bad it's a nice small server that tucks away well - when it works. There is no updated firmware available from monoprice or the actual manufacturer.

I bought to try and connect my HP LaserJet 1320 to my Windows 10 PC. It didn't work. Setting it up was a breeze -- simply plug it in, and it powers up and uses DHCP to assign an IP address to itself. The web UI is minimal. The included software appears to work for setting up a printer just fine, and is much easier to use than setting up LPR printers manually under Windows 10.But whenever I went to print something, nothing came out of the printer. No lights flashed on the printer, so it wasn't even receiving any data. The web UI is so simple it provided... zero debug information so I could tell what might have failed, or if it even received the document.Guess it doesn't work.Note that the description above fails to mention two things: (a) the box and manual says it is only tested to work with versions of Windows up to Windows 7; and (b) there is a relatively short list of printers it is "compatible" with -- and my LaserJet 1320 is not on the list.Oh well.

Wish I could rate it lower! Product didn't work at all (OK I could print a document with one line of text but not even a single page of a Word document - printer hangs with paper half way through). Spent over two hours with online chat help then was promised an email for return within one business day. No contact after two business days. Complete wast of time and money.

Using it with a Linux network and a Brother QL-570 label printer.Nothing to configure. Plug it in, turn it on and your printer is detectable. Password is easy to change and that's the only configuration it needs. Configures with DHCP out of the box and uses LPR protocol so no software needed. Just install your printer drivers and it's good to go.Why spend more if all you need is a simple USB print server this one works as well as any other I've ever tried.EDIT >>> When I bought mine I paid about $20
