[. . . ] If this is successful, then there is a problem with your computer configuration, not the print server. Consult the computer and operating system documentation. Turn off the print server, then turn it on. If the printer does not match the printer driver in the operating system, then run the Set Up this PC wizard. See "Now, Set Up a PC" on page 3-5. Disable the printer's bidirectional feature, if it is turned on. · · · Troubleshooting 202-10083-01 6-3 Reference Manual for the NETGEAR 54 Mbps Wireless USB Print Server with 4-Port Switch I am using a DHCP server, and the Wireless USB Print Server gets an IP Address conflict If the wireless USB print server is left on when the DHCP server is turned off, the wireless USB print server will retain its IP Address without informing the DHCP server. If possible, reserve the IP address in the DHCP server for the wireless USB print server. Restoring the Default Configuration This section explains how to restore the factory default configuration settings to the WGPS606. Use the Default Reset button on the rear panel of the wireless USB print server. Use this method for cases when the administration password or IP address is not known. See "Reset and Restore to Factory Defaults Button" on page 2-6 for a description of this button. Windows Printer Port Management · · · If you change the printer attached to the WGPS606, run the Smart Wizard program again and set up the new printer. Open the Printers folder (Start -> Settings -> Printers) and double-click any printer to see the current print jobs. For a Windows XP or 2000 computer, use Start -> Printers to open the Printers folder, then right-click the Printer and select Properties. Use the Advanced and Device Settings tab pages to configure printing preferences for this computer. For a Windows 98/Me computer, use Start -> Settings -> Printers to open the Printers folder, then right-click the Printer and select Properties. The Port Settings button is on either the Details or Port tab, depending on your version of Windows. Increase the retry interval if print jobs fail to print because they have to wait a long time to gain access to a printer that is heavily used. · 6-4 202-10083-01 Troubleshooting Reference Manual for the NETGEAR 54 Mbps Wireless USB Print Server with 4-Port Switch Appendix A Specifications This appendix provides the NETGEAR 54 Mbps Wireless USB Print Server with 4-Port Switch WGPS606 technical specifications.

Wireless Networking Overview The Wireless USB Print Server conforms to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802. 11g standard for wireless LANs (WLANs). On an 802. 11 wireless link, data is encoded using direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology and is transmitted in the unlicensed radio spectrum at 2. 5GHz. The maximum data rate for the 802. 11g wireless link is 54 Mbps, but it will automatically back down from 54 Mbps when the radio signal is weak or when interference is detected. The 802. 11 standard is also called Wireless Ethernet or Wi-Fi by the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA, see http://www. wi-fi. net), an industry standard group promoting interoperability among 802. 11 devices. The 802. 11 standard offers two methods for configuring a wireless network - ad hoc and infrastructure. Infrastructure Mode With a wireless access point, you can operate the wireless LAN in the infrastructure mode. This mode provides wireless connectivity to multiple wireless network devices within a fixed range or area of coverage, interacting with wireless nodes via an antenna. In the infrastructure mode, the wireless access point converts airwave data into wired Ethernet data, acting as a bridge between the wired LAN and wireless clients. [. . . ] In MDI wiring, a PC transmits on pins 1 and 2. At the hub, switch, router, or access point, the perspective is reversed, and the hub receives on pins 1 and 2. This wiring is referred to as Media Dependant Interface - Crossover (MDI-X). N NAT See "Network Address Translation" netmask Combined with the IP address, the IP Subnet Mask allows a device to know which other addresses are local to it, and which must be reached through a gateway or router. A number that explains which part of an IP address comprises the network address and which part is the host address on that network. [. . . ]
