4.0 out of 5 stars Worked as promised, October 16, 2007

By	BJ (Sacramento,CA) - See all my reviews

Product worked as promised. Installation was extremely easy. Install the driver, install the wireless configuration software, connect the hub with a wire for the initialize configuration of the wireless hub, and you are done. You are now wire-free. The hub is immediately detected. Plug a device into the hub and the device is automatically detected. I plugged an uncommon piece of USB equipment, a blood pressure monitor, and still it was recognized. This suggests to me that this wireless hub is indeed a replacement for the cable.

The range unfortunately was too short for me. There is a metal cabinet in the room and the wireless hub has to be located on top of the cabinet. At maybe 15-20ft, I was getting intermitten connections. Your mileage will vary based on the amount of interference/barriers in your environment.

1.0 out of 5 stars Buy the Belkin or Dlink version, October 18, 2007

By	Flippers - See all my reviews

These new UWB hubs are great, but this one is based on the old technology. You have to be carefull to get the right version. Compare the OS support. The new technology hubs support both Vista and XP now, not "someday". Belkin 302 and the Dlink 9240 work better. (Belkin 301 is the old stuff too)

5.0 out of 5 stars Works as expected, November 19, 2007

By	Simon - See all my reviews

This hub and adapter works great. I haven't seen any issues that others have described. I downloaded the newest drivers and they work perfectly. I've been waiting for a product like this for a long time. It seems to have better throughput than the wifi usb hubs. I use it to move my printer off of my crowded desk.
