1 Works as advertised.
I purchased the DP-301U to share a HP Deskjet between 5 computers connected to a Linksys Wireless router. Setup was simple, just follow the instuction guide provided for Windows 2000 or XP. Windows 98 instructions are available on the D-link website. The computers I connected are Windows 2000 (Pro and Server), Windows 98, and Linux (Redhat Enterprise WS). I gave this 5 stars due to an easy setup and install, plus, it just plain works! What more could you ask for?
