Summary: Didn't work
Review: After plugging this unit in, I received a cryptic error message about "missing function drivers", and the unit simply didn't work (with or without AC -- the hub is designed to run either way). The online Belkin support did not help.Thinking my computer might be the problem, I tried a linksys 4-port ac-powered usb hub, which worked immediately. I'd recommend staying away from this Belkin usb hub. (My computer is an IBM Thinkpad, running Windows 2000)

Summary: works exactly as advertised
Review: After reading a couple of lukewarm reviews, I was a little concerned about this product. However, five minutes after unpacking it I was set. It works exactly as advertised and I have not experienced any of the problems other reviewers reported.

Summary: Printing Problems.
Review: Bought one of these hubs. Ran into problems immediately when attempting to print large files of photographs. Would only get a small part of the photo printed. Thought is was the printer or a buffer size problem. After getting a USB error I decided to by-pass the hub and plug the printer directly into the computers USB port. That worked great. Took the hub back to get a replacement. The replacement had the same problem. So now I by-pass the hub anytime I want to print anything as I may or may not get a complete printout no matter the size of the print file.

Summary: Avoid! (especially Windows XP users)
Review: Buying this hub could be the worst thing you ever do to your computer. I run Windows XP, and it warned me that this hub is not Windows XP certified. Fine by me, since most hardware isn't, but works just fine. Everything was going fine until I tried plugging in USB peripherals. None of them worked, including my Logitech Quickcam, Epson C80 printer, and Handspring Visor cradle. Later that night, it was driver conflict hell. Before long, I lost my entire Windows XP install due to repeated appearances of the Blue Screen of Death (yep, it does exist in Windows XP after all). Needless to say, I will never buy another Belkin product again, if I can help it.

Summary: Overpriced hunk of plastic
Review: Doesn't provide enough power to run a scanner or camera from. Works no better than a ... unpowered hub.

Summary: A world of trouble
Review: Don't buy this! I used this on a Mac. It worked OK when I just had a couple of devices on it, but when I added a Wi-Fi USB adapter, it caused frequent computer crashes on startup, loss of Internet connection, and freezing of my mouse. I thought it was the adapter's fault, but after reading the reviews here, I bought a D-Link USB hub to replace it. Haven't had a problem since!

Summary: Works as promised.
Review: Great design. Runs well under XP and easily sits on a desk witout skidding or moving.

Summary: Works Fine, But Poor Performance For Price
Review: I am pleased to say that I have never had an issue with the hub malfunctioning. I plugged it in and it detected and installed immediately, just as it should have. For more (money) though, I would buy a different brand. Its poor quality is apparent from the time you open the box. I was immediately disappointed as I would expect this simple device to be far more impressive for the money. Most notably, the power adapter tends to jiggle free from its socket in the hub very easily. I have it sitting on my desk, and it seems that whenever it gets slightly disturbed the plug falls out and my devices go dead. Fixed that problem with some tape but a pain in the arse nevertheless. Also, it is extremely light and gets flung around and off my desk like a Cheeto at a fat camp. There goes the power again. Very irritating. It does what it's supposed to do, but not well.

Summary: Inadequate!
Review: I bought this hub to use with my Dell Dimension 4100 desktop 18 months ago without doing much research. The installation was a breeze, my computer recognized it right away after I plugged in the AC adapter and connected to the available USB hub. But like some of the reviews I read, there is not enough power of this hub to work with my Cannon scanner which is not self powered, nor the Thurstmaster gamepad I just got. It does work well with my webcam, mouse, smartmedia card reader and digital camera. Still it is a pain to have to get around to the back of the case to unplug the scanner if I want to use the gamepad, or vice versa.

Summary: Don't make my mistake!
Review: I bought this relatively expensive hub because I needed something powered for my web camera; it was a mistake. The hub couldn't power the camera appropriately - it wasn't powerful enough. I ended up using it as an unpowered hub for my other devices, and putting the camera on a new USB PCI card (which actually cost about the same). It only worked properly for a few weeks before it mysteriously stopped working, one channel at a time. I tried to contact Belkin about the "warranty" but apparently they don't answer e-mail regarding this issue. I tossed it in the trash, a $...mistake, less than 3 months after buying it. Avoid it if possible.....
