"I use the server to remotely connect two USB II printers to my wireless network. It is also easy to use just as a hard-wired switch. The only difficulty is in the wireless installation. The instructions are a little too simple, but the telephone support got it installed and working correctly. "

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
