This review is from: TRENDnet 4-Port Network USB 2.0 Hub TU2-NU4 (White)I was looking for a USB network server so I could use any of my 3 printers with any of the 4 systems on my network. Installation was simple and the server works perfectly. I wish it wouldn't automatically disconnect the chosen printer so fast (3 minutes) but it does work like it states it would and I would recommend it to anyone looking to solve the same problem I had and especially when using Windows 7. I tried another unit that was 3 times as expensive but it wouldn't work with Windows 7....
This review is from: TRENDnet 4-Port Network USB 2.0 Hub TU2-NU4 (White)When it works, it works, which is great, but there are some significant driver issues. Support was tremendously unhelpful, but responded at a rate of about 1 message per day. Also, note that it's a 10/100 interface, not a gigabit interface, and as USB 2.0 has a theoretical max of 480Mbit, you can see that these devices may be starved for throughput if you're running 4 USB drives on this at the same time. I finally got this to work by finding alternate drivers on the web for my Vista computer, my XP did not seem to like it. Once I got the driver working, however, it was rock solid....
This review is from: TRENDnet 4-Port Network USB 2.0 Hub TU2-NU4 (White)I was a bit worried because of the reviews read, but decided to test it out on my own. First, for the price you usually get one port; in this one you get 4 (usb printers and/or external drives). I read carefully the guide which is easy going. Installed as instructed on my main computer (desktop); everything was reconized and working as advertised and needed (an HP photosmart C6250 and Seagate Desk hardrive). Then proceeded to install on my wife's laptop using the same procedure and everything works great. Didn't take more than 15 to 20 minutes on both - including the 2 restarts. I have Windows 7 on both.
The communication between both computers in terms of which will use the device plugged is simple and the connect or disconnect by the user is easy. For me it works. Got what I paid for. I give it 4 stars because it can improve the connect or disconnect feature; I would prefer it would do the process on its own and not need the users input. Maybe TrendNet is working on firmware update that will tackle the situation.
I've done folder and image backup of both PCs using the external Seagate drive. My wife is happy because we placed the picture folder on the drive and she can access the photos for her scrapbooking; without needing my pc on.
Reviews can be tricky; what works for some doesn't for others. Can be computer related or knowledge base by the user. In general, it works........
