Summary: not compatible with Windows XP
Review: I bought it for a month, and it worked fine until i installed Windows XP, and could not get it working. And btw there is no driver for it. So basically i am stuck with a piece of hardware that doesn't work under new system. So beware, if you want to upgrade to XP.

Summary: What a piece of garbage
Review: I bought this unit straight from the d-link website. Took it out of the package, hooked it up like it said. The lights came on. The next day I boot up the computer so I could try one of my new usb devices, BAM!!! No power to the hub. I keep plugging it in, sometimes on a different outlet. Sometimes it works for a minute, sometimes it doesn't. I'm getting my money back and will never buy a d-link hub again. This thing is more flakey than Raisin Bran.

Summary: Start up and shut down problems
Review: With some motherboards, including the one on my Dell desktop, Windows 98 will hang during both shutdown and startup. You can see a full description of the problem on the FAQ for this product on D-Link's web site. For those like me; You can not start Windows 98 or properly shut down Windows 98 with this device attached. Every time you need shut down or start Windows, you need to disconnect this device and the power supply and reconnect it after windows has been started.... My HP scanner and Olympus camera work properly when connected through the hub, however my HP printer doesn't.

Summary: Locked up my computer keyboard
Review: When I hooked up it locked up my keyboard, specifically the Num Lock, Cap Lock and Scroll Lock lights all came on, and the keyboard would not respond. Tried several times and everytime the results were the same. I have a Dell computer with Win 98. If this will work with your computer you can't beat the price, espically after the rebate. ....

Summary: Cheap piece of junk
Review: I could not get this thing to work. Tried it on Windows XP, 2000, and 98SE. Windows simply will not recognize this device. I work in a Tech Support center and have fairly in-depth technical skills. I've also had other technically adept people look at it, with same results. I'll try Belkin or Linksys now but I'd steer clear of this item.

Summary: Quick and painless.
Review: This is an excellent product. Installation was super easy. Performance is flawless. It's pretty nice not having to pull my computer out of it's corner and try to find usb ports in the dark. Even if you don't need extra ports it's nice to have them all out front.

Summary: risky purchase
Review: Great price. However this unit burned up as soon as it was plugged in to the wall. Isolated incident or disturbing trend?

Summary: Garbage
Review: I bought this hub based on reviews posted here, and my experience with DLink network hubs, (which work well). However this USB hub did not work. The computer would see it, and install the required drivers (I'm running XP), but after a period of time, from 10 minutes to 3 hours, it would disconnect and become unusable. I was using the power adapter that came with the hub. I contacted DLink, and they told me that it was normal for the lights to go out on the hub if the computer was running XP, that it was a power saving feature of the OS. The lights would indeed go out, but when they did, the hub quit working also. After a week of this I returned it and bought a Linksys USB hub, which works flawlessly.
