Netgear announced the availability of the NETGEAR 54 Mbps Wireless Print Server with 4-Port Switch (model WGPS606). It is a 54 Mbps Wireless Print Server with two USB ports, a built-in four-port 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Switch and a Wireless Ethernet Bridge. The device is destined to benefit home and small office users who need to connect multiple printers, personal computers, gaming consoles, and digital music players to their existing wireless network.

The multifunctional NETGEAR 54 Mbps Wireless Print Server with 4-Port Switch enables people with wireless home networks to connect up to two USB printers where it’s most convenient, without being required to run unsightly cables across their home. Small office users will benefit from connecting a remote cluster of up to four personal computers to the wireless network, easily and cost-effectively, without needing to buy new wireless adapters for each. Additionally, all the PCs in the office can then share access to up to two inkjet or laserjet USB printers wirelessly. The sleek, upright case and small footprint of the Wireless Print Server with 4-Port Switch also saves space in the home or office.
