Xiiaozet Wireless Print Server
Score: 80/100Rankings
The StarTech PM1115UW adds wireless 802.11b/g/n (150 Mbps) and Ethernet backup to a single USB printer, with a compact design and WPS button for fast setup. It lacks macOS/Linux drivers, supports only one printer, and does not offer AirPrint. Best suited for small offices that primarily use Windows and need a simple, wired-or-wireless print share.
The Xiiaozet LK100W converts a USB printer to a network device with 300 Mbps Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and unlimited Windows users, offering strong security and low power draw. It is limited to Windows OS, provides only one USB port, and lacks 5 GHz Wi-Fi or scanner support. Best for home offices or small businesses that need simple, reliable Windows-only printer sharing.

Professional reviewers, primarily tech-focused YouTubers, commend the LK100W for its straightforward print-only functionality, low power draw, and the virtual USB tool that expands compatibility. However, they criticize the cumbersome initial configuration, the absence of scanning, and the limited operating-system support, suggesting it is best suited for simple Windows-only environments.
Everyday users generally appreciate the device's reliability for shared printing and its ease of installing legacy printers, but they frequently encounter setup frustrations, network re-configuration needs, and wish for broader OS and mobile support.
“Priceless cuz it beats up to have some cabling run... you can put a network device anywhere.”
“Prints beautiful.”
