Worth the money - T. Becker, Jul 02, 2008

I purchased to enhance my "old" puter. What a wonderful product! Great deal and I am now able to use USB jump drives, quickly upload pictures from my camera and even run my printer off this little baby. So glad I got this. About the size of a cell phone, with very little weight. could have been a little heavier to stop it from moving but overall a 5 star product in my book.

Very useful - Robert J. Casaletto, Mar 28, 2008

I took a piece of 2 sided tape and stuck in on the side of my Dell. It gives me easy access in such a confined space. Good product. Recommend highly.

Worked for a few month, then stopped working - Keith M. Anderson, Mar 05, 2008

Loved it, then it broke, now I wish I'd not purchased it. There's not much to love/hate about a USB router other than its reliability, which puts this into the "avoid" category as far as I'm concerned. Go elsewhere for your hub needs, like the d-link 7-port hub or the Cyberpower one.

Poor purchase - B. Penza, Feb 08, 2008

I would highly recommend avoiding this item. I read these reviews, and I considered myself technically savvy enough to figure out any problems I encountered with this product. Right out of the box, half of the ports consistently didn't work. I tried using the ones that did, and every few minutes the hub would disconnect and reconnect, causing my two external drives to reconnect as well- if I had been writing data to them, it could have been very bad... So I played around with safe devices for a while and didn't have any successful attempts to get the hub working.

Long story short: don't be dumb like me and ignore the bad reviews- if you get stuck with a lemon, it's essentially worthless. Unless you like returning things.

(Two stars because if it had worked, the small size and amount of ports is a big plus.)
