Rating: Summary: Dumb Design Review: Sure it works fine, but who is the BOZO that designed this thing?
The USB ports come straight out of the back of the unit which means you have to have access to the back, this can be a pain if you want to put the thing on a shelf. The real PIA is that they went and gave you a 90 degree power plug which interferes with it's own USB input cable and prevents the unit from sitting flat on a desk!!!
Did anyone at Lynksys ever actually plug one of these units in??
I have mine dangling by the cords, that seems to be the only way that you can use this thing.
It's basically an extension cord, so don't be sold on the Lynksys name as I was.
Rating: Summary: Is this USB1.1 Hub? Review: The title and features say USB2.0 HUB, but the data and manual are obviously for USB1.1 as Max speed is 12M. Iwas looking for USB2.0 Hub.....
Rating: Summary: Is a USB 2.0 Hub - Amazon link is wrong Review: This is a USB 2.0 hub per the Linksys.com site. Amazon has the wrong documentation linked to the product page. My four star rating is not relevant because I don't own this product yet, just researching at this point, but prospective buyers should know about this bug on Amazon's site. I'm very happy with other Linksys products I have and I'm sure this one is just fine.

Rating: Summary: Worked flawlessly Review: This product does what it promises to do. The USB hub requires an external power supply (only downside) & easily connected several divices to my USB port on my laptop. Indicator lights tell you which port is active.
