4.0 out of 5 stars Compact little hub ..., July 28, 2004

It's now more 18 months since this device was acquired and it has been there silently performing its job. Almost always all the bays have been occupied, infact I have to release devices in order to let more in. No complaints on performance or manufacturing. My only gripe (the reason for 4-stars) is that linksys should've provided more separation between the ports even though most USB connectors are a standard size. Try removing the connector from the center port when all ports are occupied and you'll know what I mean. It is funny that the ports are on the backside with the device facing you. The length of the cord provided with the device could've been longer. Last word, good solid buy.

So you have to plug it into the wall. So what? If you need more USB ports on your home machine, get this hub. It's slightly larger than a deck of playing cards. All you do is plug it in. Everything you need is in the box. No additional cords, software or drivers required. Perfect.

I received the device and had it up and running on an XP system in 15 minutes which was mostly spent connecting the cables. The driver software loaded before I even got logged on.

This is a powered USB hub. When researching it was mentioned the power helps if you have a device your connecting that needs power. After installing I went into Device Manager and looked at the Power tab on this device and saw that out of three devices I connected two of them needed power from the hub. Definitely glad I got the powered version.

I connected the USB Mouse to it as a test. It needed power from the Hub and I found you have to be patient to use the mouse until your Operating System is up enough to allow the hub to talk with it. It did work but I connected the mouse back into one of the USB ports on the PC so I don't have to wait.

Great device and it's smaller than I thought it would be, which I like. The one review that mentioned the link to the User Guide is wrong is correct, the User Guide that comes with it is correct. Yes it is a USB type 2.0, not a 1.1, though you can connect 1.1 type USB devices to it.
