This review is from: Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 4-Port Hub (F5U224)This hub has worked very well with my USB 1.1 ports. I recently tried it on my USB 2.0 PCI card. Initially, Windows XP didn't want to recognize the hub. A few switched ports and reboots later, problem solved. It is now running on USB 2.0 just fine, as advertised. In retrospect, my decision to pay a little more for a higher-quality product was a good one.Of course, since no product is perfect, here are a few negative aspects:1) All the USB ports are in the back of the product; it would be more convenient to have them in front.2) The ports are quite close together. If you're using normal USB cables, you shouldn't have a problem, but some users with wider devices such as a flash card reader or a USB flash drive may have to unplug a cable or two to get the room they need to plug their devices in.3) The AC adapter is HUGE; make sure you have plenty of room on your wall outlet or power strip to plug that monster in....
This review is from: Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 4-Port Hub (F5U224)Great looking unit, but didn't live very long. I've had some Belking USB1.1 hubs that did the same. Fine for a while then just upped and stopped working. One even sparked whenever you plugged its power supply in!...
This review is from: Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 4-Port Hub (F5U224)I encountered nothing but diffuclties trying to properly install this 4 port hub on 3 different machines, all with ver 2.0 USB ports (MS Win SE or ME). First call to Belkin, the tech decided the hub was defective and they shipped me a replacement pronto.
New hub, same problems, but the next tech ran me through some uninstall/install procedures and claimed the problem is that Windows is not installing the native (ver 1.x) USB drivers which is what is preventing the belkin 2.x high speed drivers from installing successfully. Off and on I would try and fail until I absent-mindedly connected the hub to the machine WITHOUT the
power supply connected to the hub and guess what! New hardware detected, installing (Windows) drivers (4 times, 1 for each port) plus a couple of root hubs etc. been working as expected ever since in Win ME :-))...
