Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I picked this unit up not more than 4 days ago, and I'm not thrilled. NOT a plug-n-play device. Installation is fairly straight forward: ethernet connection to a wireless router, usb connections to your printers. You install the software on your PC, and it loads an application that scans for the Hub and any devices connected to it. You see what devices are available, and you have to select each one to make it "active" on that PC. If I only had one PC, this product would probably work fairly well -- but I have a laptop and a Mac. (I'll concede that there is no stated support for Mac, BUT if you have software like Bonjor installed, you do see the hub and devices and I have printed to my printer using this device.) That said, I have YET to get my laptop running XP to successfully use this hub. An OEM error message comes up at the last "selection" step, that gives me a list of three trouble-shooting steps (like "unplug and re-plug the devices") that *never* work. And lastly, when I do get either the desktop PC or Mac to print to the hub, the other machine looses its connection to the hub entirely -- prompting me to shut down the machine that held the "current" good connection, so as to free up the hub for the other computer. I'm hoping there is going to be some good support on the OEM web site for this device -- anyone owning this is going to need it.
