Rating: Summary: Very unstable....Will not last Review: This item worked excellent!!!! ...For ONE day. Came in the next morning and I had no power to the hub and nothing would work no matter what i tried. ... It is a piece of junk.
Rating: Summary: nice little addition Review: What could be simpler, plug it in & it works, period. No problems with my gamepad & printer.
Rating: Summary: returned 2 Review: The first one I received wouldn't power up from the AC power source at all. I returned it and replacement seemed to work OK for a day or so, and then the PC could not seem to identify it correctly. Apparently these hubs are not made very well.Although it looks cool in the picture, once you hold it in your hands you'll see that it just feels cheap. I'd go with a different manufacturer if you're in the market for a USB hub.
Rating: Summary: Too much stuff not enough holes Review: Being an illustrator who works on a iMac I only have two usb ports. Because of this (the illustrating art reason thingy) I need alot more than two ports for my zip drive, digital camera, graphics tablet, scanner, printer and, a game controller (for my leisure time) not to mention a mouse and keyboard. The D-Link 4 port usb hub is an affordable and effective solution for those like me that have too much stuff and not enough holes to plug them into.
Rating: Summary: Worked for 12 months, but now completely dead Review: For the first 12 months, the product worked as advertised. However, after time one of the four ports became unusuable. I moved that cable to a different port, so I could keep using the hub. Recently however, the unit has become completely dead. No power lights, no indication that anything is happening. Self-powered lights are also off. I'm planning to buy a new one, but from a different brand.
Rating: Summary: Seems great - but flawed Review: While the product seems quite convenient in principle, it draws too much current from the computer. As a result, I am unable to turn on the computer while the hub is plugged into it. At the end of the day, the hub is completely useless.
Rating: Summary: Nice Function, Poor Durability Review: This product does it's job in a very unobtrusive manner. It was able to be plugged in and used without any drama. However, about 2 weeks after I got it, one of the downstream ports started drawing too much durrent and has since been disabled by the computer.
Rating: Summary: Works Just as Advertised Review: Plug it in and plug in your USB accessories and it works like a charm. No more fumbling in the back of your PC box to pull out the USB connector of an accessory you are not using to plug in one you want to use. The connections are in the front of the Dlink box. Good price compared to Linksys, Belkin and other competitive models. I am quite happy I bought this hub.
Rating: Summary: Not so great for iMac Review: I've had some trouble with this hub on my iMac. Sometimes the iMac doesn't "see" the hardware plugged into the hub. I have to unplug and plug in again... other times, my iMac freezes up or just doesn't recognize the keyboard or mouse (which aren't plugged into the hub). This may not be related to the hub, but others have had similar problems once they get a hub.
Rating: Summary: best buy for what it does Review: This thing does all that it says it does, flawlessly, unobtrusively and inexpensively. If you need more, buy more; if not, buy this.
