Summary: Fast & Easy
Review: There's not much to say about this product. I just plugged it in and instantly forgot about it! I was a bit skeptical because most USB hubs tend to be a bit pricier, but the D-Link hub works great and it can't get any easier to set it up. I love the compact design as well. This one is definately a no-brainer.

Summary: Simple and Fast
Review: I use Windows ME and I just plugged it in, plugged in my scanner and digital camera, turned on my computer and ME found it and instantly set it up! I agree that most USB hubs tend to be a bit pricier, but the D-Link hub works great and it can't get any easier to set it up. It's nice and compact and if I need more plugs, it would be easy enough to daisy chain another one. This one is definitely a good product .

Summary: Not compatible with XP in self-powered mode
Review: Dlink really messed up with this one. I've long been
a fan of Dlink's network adapters and hubs, but after
purchasing one of these hubs, I've almost lost any
respect I've had for the company. When I first
plugged in this hub, everything seemed to work just
as it was supposed to, but then my USB devices
started dissapearing and XP began alerting me that
it had found new hardware... the USB devices that
had disspeared. This hub intermittently, and randomly
has communications problems with the attached devices
anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour after I start
Windows, I begin hearing that wonderful USB insert
notification. After some research I discovered that
this hub has these issues when running under Windows
XP with the power supply. So, I played musical chairs
with my devices, and managed to get the hub to work,
in bus-powered mode. Of course this means that with
Windows XP you're out of luck if you want to plug
any high-powered USB devices into this hub. This hub
is not worth the money. If you are an XP user, do
yourself a favor and steer clear of Dlink.

Summary: It's like Christmas!
Review: I hate to be one of those "this thing doesn't work" people, but my experience with this item falls just south of a root canal sans novacaine. The reason I bought a hub was to, well, hub things. I had enough USB devices to merit it, and after installation, I thought my troubles were over. No more plugging and unplugging. My bad. Each of the 4 ports had it's own personality. One didn't like the tablet, but loved the SmartMedia reader. It was ambivalent towards the scanner. Another happily took the visor but shunned the scanner.Getting each peripheral to work together at the same time was impossible. Granted, some USB devices don't like to share, like the Nomad Docking station and the printer, but it makes me wonder about how a person could possible link 127 devices at the same time. I had a heck of a time with 3.

Summary: Works like it says
Review: The D-Link DSB-H4 USB 4-Port Hub by D-Link is a well priced hub that works like it says it does. I have my digital camera, optical mouse, and CD burner all plugged in to it, and still have room for an MP3 player should I desire it. This is an excellent product for anyone who has more than two USB devices and not enough USB slots on the computer. If you're reading this it is because you probably are thinking about buying it, and certainly the price is right. I am 100% pleased with mine. :)

Summary: Nice little USB HUB and pretty too
Review: This is a nice little USB HUB at a very reasonable price. From a networking standpoint im typically not to fond of D-Link but this device is definatly an acception. I have only had one problem with this HUB and that is when I am using the other 3 ports and plug in my USB video camera I run into a bandwidth problem and windows screams at me about it. Cameras can be rather intense of a sytem bus and like CD-Burners are best left on a direct system port rather than running off a HUB so im not suprized this happened. Another perk is this HUB lights up like an X-mas tree with 6 LED's and a clear case to really let it glow. Not that this is a real big deal but I like it ;) Overall a very good buy and well worth the $$$

Summary: Not all USB products are compatible with this hub
Review: While this hub installed easily and works without much interaction, I've found that there are many USB products that will only work when plugged directly into the computer (and fail completely when plugged into this hub). Some examples are the Microsft wireless optical mouse (which is the whole reason I bought this hub), my HP writable DVD drive and an M-Audio audio interface. I'm not sure if this is the fault of D-Link or the other manufacturers, but there are enough products that will not work with it that I wonder about the compatibility of this hub.

Summary: Works great!
Review: I have had this for awhile and have not had any problems. I have a camera and some other things plugged into it. It is nice not having to worry about running out of USB connections.

Summary: Problems with Windows 2000
Review: Same problems as others. The machine hangs up while rebooting. I have to unplug it to reboot the machine and then plug it in. It doesn't even work with my Webcam (Intel PC Camera Pro). Guess I made a Bad choice when I bought it. Stay away from it!!

Summary: Doesn't work on my computer: Gateway G6-350
Review: As mentioned in other reviews, this hub caused my computer to hang on start up. To start up the computer using this hub, I would have to remove the hub from the USB port, start up the computer, then plug the hub and its power supply back into the computer. It also seemed to temporarily disable the adjacent USB port at times.
