Wireless USB print server

The Wavlink WL-NU516U1 connects a USB printer to a wired or wireless network so several computers can share it. It supports Windows and Mac operating systems and works with most USB inkjet, laser or receipt printers. A USB 2.0 port allows up to four printers or storage devices when a hub is used. The unit weighs 43g and includes a power adapter, Ethernet cable and Micro USB cable.

Home offices, small businesses and shared workspaces

Teams that need one printer accessible from multiple desktops without moving cables will benefit. Environments that require 5 GHz Wi-Fi, Gigabit Ethernet or automatic driver installation should consider other solutions. The device does not support cloud printing services or mobile-only printing apps.

2.4 GHz wireless and 10/100 Mbps LAN

The single radio operates on the 2.4 GHz band while the Ethernet port is limited to 10/100 Mbps speeds. This combination determines whether the print server fits the existing network infrastructure.

Questions about this item

Does the WL-NU516U1 generate noticeable heat or fan noise when left powered on all day?

The unit weighs only 43 g and ships with a 5 V/1 A adapter, so it draws very little power and has no fan, running silently and staying cool during continuous use.

Which cables and printer connections must I already have to use this print server?

You need a USB 2.0 printer cable for your printer and an Ethernet cable for wired mode; a 5 V/1 A power adapter, one Ethernet cable and a micro-USB cable are included in the box.

Will the WL-NU516U1 work with an older USB 1.1 printer I still use?

The USB-A port follows the USB 2.0 standard at 480 Mbps and is backward compatible, so legacy USB 1.1 printers will connect and share over the 10/100 Mbps LAN or 2.4 GHz wireless link.
