The WAVLINK WL-NU516U1 Wireless N300 USB Network Print Server provides a convenient way to share compatible USB printers through a wired or wireless local network. It connects a standard USB printer to a network so multiple computers can access the printer without requiring a separate direct USB connection from every workstation.
With 2.4GHz Wireless N300 connectivity, dual 10/100Mbps RJ45 ports, USB 2.0 and WPS pairing, this compact print server is designed for flexible home and office printing. Explore the WAVLINK WL-NU516U1 price in Bangladesh at IT Source.
The WAVLINK WL-NU516U1 is a compact wireless USB 2.0 print server designed to provide network printing access for compatible USB printers. It supports IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless networking and offers two 10/100Mbps RJ45 ports, including a LAN connection to the router and a Bridge connection for a wired end device. The USB 2.0 interface connects a compatible printer, while an additional USB hub can expand sharing to as many as four supported printers or storage devices. The print server includes WPS wireless pairing, browser-based configuration, JetDirect AppSocket printing support and mDNS/SSDP discovery features. Its wired, wireless and standalone operating modes provide several connection options for home and small-office environments.
The WAVLINK WL-NU516U1 supports IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless networking on the 2.4GHz band, allowing a compatible USB printer to be accessed through a supported wireless local network. This is particularly useful when a printer needs to be placed away from a desktop computer or when several users require access to the same printer.
Wireless N300 refers to the Wi-Fi standard's maximum theoretical link rate rather than a guaranteed printing or file transfer speed. Actual wireless performance depends on router capabilities, distance, interference and network conditions. The device does not provide 5GHz Wi-Fi connectivity.
The print server includes two Ethernet ports operating at 10/100Mbps. The LAN port connects to a compatible router or network switch, while the Bridge port provides a wired network connection for an additional end device. This arrangement adds flexibility when positioning the print server near a printer and other network equipment.
The Bridge port can be useful when a nearby device requires wired connectivity. Both Ethernet connections are limited to Fast Ethernet speeds of up to 100Mbps and should not be described as Gigabit Ethernet ports.
The WL-NU516U1 features a USB 2.0 connection for attaching a compatible USB printer. Once configured, the print server can make the connected printer available to supported computers on the local network, reducing the need to share the printer through a permanently running host computer.
WAVLINK also specifies support for sharing up to four compatible printers or four storage devices when an additional USB hub is connected. This capability requires a suitable hub and compatible devices. The built-in hardware provides one USB 2.0 port, not four separate USB ports.
The WAVLINK WL-NU516U1 supports wired and wireless network operation, allowing users to select a connection method appropriate for their installation. Wired mode connects through the RJ45 LAN interface, while wireless mode uses a supported 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network.
The product also supports standalone wireless operation, in which computers can connect directly to the print server's wireless network without relying on an upstream router. In this mode, access to the regular network or internet through the same connection may not be available.
A dedicated WPS button helps simplify wireless connection to compatible routers. The device also supports browser-based management, enabling users to configure and monitor the print server without relying exclusively on a dedicated desktop configuration utility.
For network discovery and printing, WAVLINK lists mDNS, SSDP and JetDirect AppSocket support. These technologies can assist compatible operating systems and printer drivers in locating and communicating with the print server. Users must still install the correct printer driver and confirm that their printer supports the required printing protocol.
The WL-NU516U1 uses a compact white enclosure measuring approximately 75 × 54 × 18mm. Its small footprint makes it suitable for placement near a printer, on a workstation or in a network equipment area. The housing includes status indicators for system activity, LAN, Bridge and Wi-Fi connections.
The device uses a Micro-USB power connection with a specified 5V/1A power adapter. Its lightweight construction is convenient for fixed office installations where a printer needs to remain accessible to several users. The print server is intended for compatible network printing and supported storage sharing; multifunction printer scanning is not supported.
The WAVLINK WL-NU516U1 is suitable for home offices, small businesses, schools, reception desks and shared workgroups that want to make a compatible USB printer available over a wired or wireless network. It can benefit users who want to share a printer between several computers without repeatedly moving a USB cable. Network administrators may also use it when adding basic network printing functionality to a supported USB printer.
Before purchasing, users should confirm that their printer supports the required RAW printing protocol and that compatible drivers are available for their computers. The device does not support multifunction printer scanning, and phone or tablet printing is not a documented feature. Users should also verify that their network supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi or the available 10/100Mbps wired connection.
