I got this product recently, before I purchased it, I viewed some negative reviews on this DP-311P, but I still bought it and tried it out, it took me only about 10 minutes to finish. The user manual sucks, doesn't tell you very detailed what to do with different network situation, that is why some customers don't know what to do if they are not using D-Link wireless router. First, you need to change the IP address on one of your computers which has a wireless adapter to 192.168.0.XX with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 which means change the computer's IP same as DP-311P default IP scheme, so you can communicate with it. Remember before you do it, set the little switch on the back of 311P to "configure" position. After you changed the computer's IP, use either the wireless adapter connection wizard, or use ad-hoc to connect to 311P, then start IE/browser to access 192.168.0.10, you will see the configuration interface, from there you change the network settings to your existing network scheme (e.g. change IP address to 192.168.1.10 if you have Linksys router...), as well as the wireless settings. Some customers said 128bit encription deson't work, you have to change everything to 64bit, that is not correct. I sucessfully set it to use 128bit without any problem. Instead of using browswer to access the interface, you can also install the ps admin software come with the CD, start the program, it will find the server, you will be able to change all above settings within the program interface. After finish, remember set the back switch to "normal" position. Now, change your computer's IP back to original. Now your Print server should be ready to use. To add the printer, go to control panel and add printer from there, change the port to D-Link printer port and specify the IP address you gave the print server, such as 192.168.1.10. Print a test page, you are done. It is very easy.

This is a good product, but the instructions are not so great. In fact, Mac users don't get any instructions. This annoyed me, so I figured it out for myself. Here are my instructions for Mac users:

I got this so that my wife could wirelessly print from her iBook and also from her Windows desktop. That ended up working out great. But all my computers run Linux and I cannot figure out how to get any of them to print using the DP-311P. D-link also categorically refused to give me ANY information about using it with Linux. I knew they wouldn't provide phone support for Linux, but Linksys at least gives directions on how to set up their comparable wireless print server with Linux. I even asked D-link to just give me the technical specifications of the DP-311P so that maybe I could figure it out myself. They wouldn't even do that. So, I'm stuck with a mysterious "black box" that won't allow me complete wireless printing bliss. If you need Mac and Windows printing, the DP-311P has worked great. If you also need Linux printing, try the Linksys.

While it wasn't the eaisiest thing to install (requires some computer smarts) D-Link did something that LinkSys could not: make a wireless print server that works as advertised.
One word of advise for mac users: to use this printer, open print center, and use IP printing. Be sure to pick your correct printer model, or something close. If you don't, you'll have a pile of jibberish printed.
Overall, very nice device. It feels magical when you see your printer printing not near a computer, and in your kitchen! You can place the printer anywhere in the house.
If you want a print server, and are willing to put up with the hassles, this is the one to get... but be sure you have at least one computer whiz in your family.

Verified Purchase
This is a great item. I have become addicted to wireless, and I bought this as a backup. My workhose printer is a dot-matrix, and I have an old HP DeskJet that I use occasionally for its PCL capabilities.

The DP-311 is compact and easy to work with. Once I got comfortable with changing my network configuration between infrastructure and ad-hoc, the configuration process was a breeze. You can set these up with a static IP address, or assign it a name and let DHCP do its thing.

The only drawback I've seen is with encryption. The unit does not support WPA, only WEP. But I can live with that.

By A Customer on March 8, 2004
Now that the DP311-P is configured to work with my Linksys AP my entire family thinks wireless printing is almost better than wireless access. The product is working with an old NEC 860 laser and two laptops - one XP Home and one Windows 2000. One has Linksys card the other Orinoco. The real issue is that the documentation to work with a non D-Link Access Point is terrible. I have to believe that if D-Link did decent documentation their support costs would fall dramatically.
Played with this for 2 hours, got it to print in config mode but never in normal mode. Used both laptops. Linksys card makes set-up virtually impossible as provides no info on what network you are on. Finally called D-Link; on hold for 2 minutes, technician solved network issue in about 4 minutes - was not on Linksys AP's IP address. Worked with XP perfectly. Tried to print with w2000. Kept printing same document over and over. Called D-Link after numerous permutations of setting up printer config. No help. Kept at it. Turns out W2k wants you to use the D-LINK printer settings that do not exist in XP for printer set-up. Seems logical but nowhere is this mentioned in D-Link documentation. In fact they have no W2k documentation.
Summary - product A+, tech support B, Documentation F
