StarTech 1-Port USB Wireless Print Server
Score: 74/100Rankings

HP's Jetdirect 690n internal card equips compatible LaserJet printers with Fast Ethernet and 802.11b/g wireless, backed by an extensive security feature set. Its wireless speed caps at 54 Mbps and the internal form factor may limit compatibility. Targeted at enterprise environments requiring secure, managed printing.

The StarTech PM1115UW provides a compact USB-printer to Wi-Fi or Ethernet bridge with SNMP and WPS features, suitable for small offices. Its older Wi-Fi standard and internal antenna limit performance in modern high-density networks. Best for environments needing simple, cost-effective print sharing across Windows PCs.
