Total JUNK!!.......2007-09-27
I bought this phone before reading the reviews and that will never happen again! I was just out shopping and wanted to replace the cordless phone I already had since it didn't have an answering machine.I can't believe I spent almost $100 on this junky phone!I hooked and chared it up and pressed the talk button and could already hear static just with the dial tone! I don't know if this has anything to do with the fact that I have dsl or what but whatever the reason it is totally unacceptable for such an expensive phone.After I heard the staticy dial tone I tried calling from my cell phone to test the answering machine.It was so staticy I couldn't understand a word! At least with the less expensive Uniden I had it was only staticy when I would run the microwave.So I boxed this ge phone back up,re-hooked up my old uniden(It is sad that a phone that cost 1/2 as much and is 2 years older than this GE works better!) and took it back.Please don't waste your money on this phone,you will not be able to hear on it.
May not be the best but it works!.......2007-07-03
Despite the bad reviews I decided to keep this phone set and bought two additional expandable units. This thing has bells and whistles I probably will never use like the do not disturb and room monitoring features - but when you break it down to the basics - it rings, it takes and play messages, it's clear, no static - a big plus. I can walk upstairs and downstairs and outside. I had a GE phone set in the past and it was reliable but became outdated as we needed more phones. One thing that does bother me is the loudness of the handset - I can't always hear the caller if I have kids being noisy in the background. It would be nice to be able to turn up the handset volume like you can do on a cell phone. Instead, I need to move to a quieter space then I'm fine. So should you buy it - if you are a risk taker and not very hard to please, go for it. Otherwise, you better keep shopping!
Good phone with two minor problems.......2007-05-03
We love the baby monitor function and use it all the time. The phone sound quality is quite good. For $98 we have three phones and an answering machine.
I only have two problems with this system:
1) The "do not disturb" feature could have been great: it stops all noise from the phones and answering machine (incl. outgoing message, caller's message, etc) with one button. HOWEVER, it does not stop the beep every 10 sec letting you know you have a message. How silly.
2) The outgoing message sound quality is poor / muddy.
Other than that I am fairly pleased with this system.
If only it would ring ..........2007-04-24
I like the phone...if only it would ring. We made about three outgoing calls to test the sound quality and the speaker phone which was all fine. Unfortunately, on incoming calls, the phones won't ring and the answering machine won't answer! Gee, GE we have a problem. No, I don't have it on "Don't Disturb".
The interface isn't terrible although they do need a way to exit menus gracefully other than pressing the talk button. I like the 50 position memory which is easy to use and the incoming call list is easy to read and review, unlike my previous GE phone. Unfortunately, after following all the proper set up and double-checking everything, the phones won't ring. Ever. They light up for an incoming call but won't ring. I missed a lot of phone calls that first afternoon until I discovered the problem. The answering machine won't answer the calls either. Another oops. I'm back to my old GE phone and separate answering machine because they ring and answer respectively. Customer service tried to help me out at the 1-800 number but I think this is all going back into the box to be returned. Pain and no gain.
Bad phone.......2007-03-08
I ordered this phone hoping it would surpass the 7 year old Panasonic phone i have, however, I was very disappointed! The LCD is sooo bright that you cannot even see the CID name! The speaker phone is terrible! You have to hold the phone to your ear just so the person on the other line can hear you... There is also no battery indicator on the headset. I am notorious for forgetting to hang the phone up to charge and it is helpful when their is an indication as to when the battery is going to die. The one great thing about the phone are the various ring tones that you can choose. However, I could not figure out how to select the "VIP" ring tones for specific people. Over all, I would suggest spending a little more money on something else.

Typical Linksys.......2007-12-17
I am currently on my second print server. The first one was always very hot, even if it was not being used. Well after a year it just stopped working. No lights nothing. The only reason I purchased another one was because all my other wireless products were Linksys. This time I attached a large heat sink to one side. This one runs much cooler. With all of the problems setting up my router, print server, range expander (all Linksys) I wish I had gone with another vendor. Now my range expander has stopped working after about a year and I assume it would be the same problem as the print server - heat. Oh well, this time I will switch to another brand and as my Linksys products die, I will replace them with their competitors brand. I am tired of customer service that can't speak English, setup instructions not written by English speaking employees and a total lack of knowledge of their own product.
MACs of HELL.......2007-11-06
AppleTalk doesn't quite work as advertised.Tried several things but it won't detect it as the correct printer through appletalk. Works great with windows machines.
Linksys WPS54G Wireless-G 802.11g Print Server .......2007-10-04
It works great, I moved the printer to the closet and I have more room in my office. It not easy to install it, you have to call tecnical support for help.(they are pretty good)
Works well but tricky to set up; maye this will help.......2007-09-12
Once you get this kind of gizmo going, it works nicely. You can connect multiple computers on your home network to a printer that's within WiFi range. But look at all those 1-star and 2-star reviews! What's going on here?
Setting wirss gear is a challenge, because you have to do exactly the right things in exactly the right sequence, and some of the things you have to do right aren't mentioned in Linksys's setup wizard that runs when you insert the Linksys setup CD into your computer. Or they're mentioned so late in the process that you may have to start all over again!
The process takes about 90 minutes if you do everything right the first time around and don't have to double back. Most of the time you're watching software load - it's as exciting as watching paint dry.
Here's what you have to do, as far as I'm able to recount from having just done it for a friend's home network. (He bought the version of this device that also handles multi-function printers, but the setup process is the same.) If you think the following is written in Greek or maybe in Geek, get someone else to do this for you. If you're up to the challenge, this review may save you time and frustration and prevent more 1-star reviews.
(1) Before you set the print server up, it's a good idea to go to the web site of the company that makes your router (Linksys, D-Link, Netgear, etc.) and download and install the latest "firmware" for your router. That takes maybe 15 minutes.
(2) Move the printer close to the PC that's connected to your wireless router. It has to be close enough to the router for you to connect it via a standard Ethernet ("patch" or "Internet") cable. It's not a big deal, but it means you may have to set the printer up in one place and then move it back to where you want it to be. (Linksys supplies the necessary cables in the box, which is to their credit. Most printer manufacturers make you buy your own cable.)
(3) The printer needs to be set up on the computer using a wired (USB) connection *before* you try to set up the wireless connection. If you're just going wireless with a printer you've already installed on the PC that's connected to your WiFi router, you're all set. But if you're installing a new printer, or trying to go wireless with a printer you've moved from some other computer, be sure to install it as a USB printer first. (3-a) Once you have the printer set up as a wireless "network" computer, you may want to uninstall the USB version of the same printer, because when you boot up, some versions of Windows will give you endless warnings that the local printer isn't connected. (3-b) This also means that if you ever buy a new printer and you want to connect it wirelessly via the Linksys print server, you have to install it first as a (wired) USB printer, and then re-run the "Set Up Computer" wizard from the CD that comes with the Linksys. Don't lose that CD!
(4) The setup wizard asks for a password for the print server. You can use any password you like, BUT then it asks for a passphrase, and the wizard fails to point out that you need the exact WEP passphrase or WEP key you've (already) used to set up your wireless router. (You are using WEP or stronger security on your wireless router, right? If not, go find out how to set up WEP security and do it immediately.) (4-a) The setup wizard asks for a passphrase, but if you've used a passcode on your router, there's a way to enter it you look carefully at the screen.
(5) Once you complete setting up the wireless print server, the wizard leads you through setting up your computer. Again, you must have already installed the printer onto the computer via a USB cable before you get to this point! Follow the instructions and by gosh - it works! Then at the very end there's a small note saying that if you want to set up other computers, you have to install the printer drivers first. Nice of Linksys to point that out at the very end; it would have saved me an hour of messing around if they'd said that at the beginning!
(6) Once the printer is set up, it's the default printer, and it wasn't possible (at least for me, with Windows XP) to set a different printer up as the default printer on one of the computers on my home friend's network. A minor irritation, in most cases, and there may be a workaround. If I find it I'll add it to this review.
So: 5 stars for convenience once it's set up; 3 stars for the glitch with the default; 2 stars for poor setup instructions... how do you rate this thing? 4 stars, I guess.
Works decently, setup was easy.......2007-09-02
I was a little apprehensive about this one, due to the the comments here. I took the plunge after confirming that it would work with my HP 6540 printer. Setup was easy - but since I run WPA on the wireless side, hooking up to the wired side was a necessity for configuring it (of course - how would it know your key?)
The quick start guide was passable, I ended up using the PDF version of the full manual instead.
It does run very hot - but since everyone says this about them, I'm sure it's "normal". I'm currently trying to decide whether I will leave it on all the time, or keep the printer and printserver powered off until I need to print.

great!.......2007-03-15
i wanted to rate it with 6 stars!
i got a core2duo E6600 and during games my usual temp was above 70C to 75C! :-(
now it is under 50C!, mostly 45C or less!
intel could take some advise from the coolermaster guys to improve that thing they call "retail cooler". i think a common case fan would do better...
