Summary: it did not function
Review: I bought this unit to connect my growing array of usb peripherals. the AC adapter fit just fine, unlike previous reviews. but whatever i plugged into the unit could not be seen by my computer. The unit is supposed to work with the windows ME usb root hub drivers installed with the OS and therefore no specific drivers are needed for the unit, but it did not work out that way. and no drivers are supplied at all on the manufacturers website as a "just in case". so save yourself trouble and buy a different brand.

Summary: NOT for self-powered use
Review: I bought two of these Belkin USB hubs due to the number of peripherals I bought with my new computer. Almost all of the peripherals required a self-powered hub, but the AC adapter did not fit properly and worked itself loose on BOTH hubs within several days. The hubs work great on bus power (which does not require the AC adapter), but these are unreliable for sefl-powered (AC) use.

Summary: Self-power cable doesn't plug in physically to this hub.
Review: I echo the previous reviewer that the power cable did not attach to the hub physically. Not having the self-powered feature from a usb port was not an option for me,
because I didn't want to take the chance of overloading the power demand on my notebook
by attaching many devices at the same time. (4 usb devices and 2 non-usb add-on's)
I'll return this one and buy other manufacurer's USB hub.

Summary: Works fine...just be careful in storms
Review: I got this about a month ago. It worked perfectly fine right out of the packaging. My computer (running Win2k Pro) immediately recognized the unit and it took about one minute for the driver to install. I had my cable modem, printer, and smartmedia card reader attached to it in no time. Just be sure to unplug it when I storm comes through. I heard a pop from my living room during a rainstorm, and it turned out to be the unit getting fried by lightning or something. Luckily, I was able to exchange it for another and it is working just like before. I have learned my lesson. Overall, a good buy for your usb needs.

Summary: A breeze to setup, works great
Review: I had to buy this hub to connect the increasing amount of peripherals and add-ons for my PC. I use it with the following equipment:
Visioneer 5800 Scanner, Sidewinder joystick, Sony digital camcorder, Polaroid digital camera. Installation was very easy, Windows XP recognized it immediately and only required a reboot to start using it. After that, I have not even taken a look at it, it works transparently. Good purchase, recommended.

Summary: No Problems Here
Review: I have had this usb hub for over 6 months and have not had and problems or issues the other reviewers have encountered, but I dont have mine in the middle of my desk to get knocked off either nor has the power adapter disconnected from the hub. I give the hub a 5 for being so easy to hook up and trouble free.

Summary: Easy as Pie
Review: I opened the package, plugged the hub into my computer and into the AC outlet, and it worked! As easy as that - no software to load, no books to read, no networking jargon to learn. All products should be this easy to use. If I had a complaint at all, it would be that the data cable that comes with the hub, used to connect the hub to the USB port on the PC, is less than 18 inches long. In my case, I took the new 6' cable I had purchased with my printer and used it to connect the hub, placing the hub next to the printer so that I could then use the short cable between the hub and the printer. USB is indeed a great option and this hub makes it possible to operate my digital camera and both my printers from a single USB port.

Summary: Works better than Linksys
Review: I ordered this one after I found out that my linksys hubs don't work with my new desktop. This hub does!

Summary: Fine for low power users
Review: I rated this a 2 star. It worked find for my camera at first. But then I got on the USB band wagon and started replacing my worn out serial port devices with USB and BAMM! The hub did not work. In fact I finished looking all over the Belkin site for some assistance. No drivers to help. I did learn reading the reviews that others were having the same problem. I "tried" to keep my scanner, printer, APC and CDRW drive working but it just hung up and stopped. Worked for a while. Might keep it for the kids computer. Look past this one, go for a better product if you want to connect items I listed above.

Summary: What made it quit working?
Review: I wondered why my printer stopped working, why my Palm wouldn't connect, why my camera wouldn't connect. Finally narrowed it down to my Belkin USB hub. If it doesn't work nothing else does. Checked the reviews and they'r all bad. Belkin, you've had your last chance with me. Bye. Bye.
