I just purchased this, got it home, and within minutes was printing. I have a Konica Minolta Color Laser 2300w which is not networkable unless you buy the SEH print server for it. Unfortunately, you can only network one printer with it. I successfullynetworked 2 printers, a portable hard drive and still have 2 more usb ports open. All you have to do is connect to your printer when you go to print, which takes a whole 5 seconds. Well worth the money, and I have been through my share of trying different print servers.

Works great for printing but that's it. This device does not integrate well with external hard drives. When initially booting up my PC it took ten-twenty minutes to fully recognize my WD Book and nothing else could run while the program was processing my hard drive. Plenty of disk activity during the time, plenty of flashing lights on the router, no internet activity but pigged the entire PC. The controller program also loads several hidden programs called 'system'. I even tried to buy a new Belkin router just in case there were any compatability issues but still no change. Returned product . Great idea but doesn't live up to its claims. I love the idea but it's just that an idea. Belkin customer support was no help at all. Similar reviews to mine foundall over the net.

The concept of this hub is wonderful.

It works fine most of the time with my HP all-in-one printer (HP J5780). I can print wirelessly from my laptops (There are three in my house. Two of them are Vista, one of them is XP).

Set up was very easy (I downloaded driver for Vista from Belkinâ€s website.) and it seemed working but every time I connected anything to the hub, “Over current warningâ€� came up. I contacted to Belkinâ€s support and I had to exchange the hub. With the new hub, “Over current warningâ€� is disappeared so I guess I had a defective hub but there are still some minor problems.

The hub does not work with my WD Passport hard drive and Sandisk Micro Cruzer USB flash drive. They are not powered up and unable to access them from my laptops. Also, not all the time, but sometimes, when I open Belkin Network USB Hub Control Center, my pc (Vista) recognizes my All-in-one printer as new hardware and windows starts reinstall driver. So, I have to wait for windows to finish installation. I am not sure that is the HPâ€s problem, Vista's problem, or Belkinâ€s problem.

I am still happy with the hub. I spent $80 for the hub and it was a bargain.
