This review is from: Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 7-Port Lighted Hub Black F5U700-BLKThis item is a piece of garbage, I am returning it. The unit emits a high-pitched squeal when plugged in, rendering it completely useless. The tone and volume are far to annoying to permit extended use. Also, the power cord that comes with the unit is about 1.5 feet long, not long enough to reach from my power strip to the top of my desk. Called Belkin about both issues, was initially told that they would send me a new one with a longer cord, then told a week later that all their cords were the same length. Worthless product from a worthless company. Don't waste your money....

This review is from: Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 7-Port Lighted Hub Black F5U700-BLKI have plugged several devices such as my ipod touch and a portable hard drive and does not recognize neither of them. I thought it had something to do with an specific port but the same happens in any of them, I tried plugging them directly on the computer and they worked fine. It just can't handle having more than 4 ports used at the same time. Don't waste your money....

This review is from: Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 7-Port Lighted Hub Black F5U700-BLKAfter a while of struggling with all USB devices connected to this hub I finally figured out the problem: the supplied cable that goes from the computer to this hub doesn't connect properly at the hub; if you have it connected to the supplied electricity adapter you won't notice because the (garish) blue lights remain turned on. Disconnect it from the mains and you'll see the hub lights sometimes turn on, sometimes not, so you need to fiddle with it to make it work. Poor manufacturing and design, to say the least. It may be just a lemon, or a problem with the entire line, in any case you shouldn't waste your money doing Belkin's quality tests for them! Are all other Belkin products this bad?



I didn't buy this from Amazon and it's obviously not their fault that Belkin decided to launch such a poor product....
