"It [is not good]!"
This is the worst USB Hub i've ever had the displeasure of working with. Several times a day it loses power and all devices connected to it stop working for upto 1 minute until it starts working again. I can't afford for this to happen as often as it is. I've never had a hub do this before nor have I heard of any hub having this problem. I would recommend LINKSYS and nothing else! Remember the saying...."You get what you pay for"!

"If I could i would give it negative 5 stars"
I cannot beleive they are still selling this [bad] unit. I used it for only 10 minutes. I tried plugging in with a Web cam, CD burner, and Printer. The unit kept shutting down. I had its external power plugged in however it refused to work.... I would not recommend this product to any one. I would recommend not purchasing it.

"Main Cable or Hub shorts out Power Supply"
The Hub worked for about an hour then caused my power supply to shutdown. Power supplys have good overload protection so my system came up after about five minute cool down time. Now I have to see if I can get this fixed through the warranty. Which is to much work for a 25 dollar part.

"Causes boot problems"
I bought this so I could keep multiple USB peripherals attached to my Win98 PC. When I plugged it into the (already running) system it worked as expected, but when I rebooted the system it hung until I disconnected the hub. It could be Win98SE drivers, or it could be this hub isn't very good.

"Not compatible with XP in self-powered mode"
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.
