Netgear PS101 - NOT IMPRESSED

by hw-guru, Feb 24, 2006

Pros: Small size. Out of sight, out of mind.

Cons: Configuration loss after power reset.

Author's Review

Well it sounded too good to be true.. and it is.

I will tell you why I'm returning this product:

when you unplug it, let's say, to move the device and printer to another location in the office..

IT LOSES ITS CONFIGURATION.

Then - you have to weed through the router's DHCP clients table to look for the IP Address it was assigned because the default setting is to use DHCP and reconfigure it all over again! Ridiculous!

You may wonder - how often do you move a printer? The better question is, how often does a user turn the power bar off in her office overnight or before a weekend?

Not impressed.
