It's lousy but... no it's just lousy

Byviiowe996on January 20, 2011

Verified Purchase

The range on this thing isn't anything near what's advertised. For best reception you'd want about 5 feet max with the units in direct line of site... beyond that it starts getting iffy quicker and quicker. But I needed a solution to a particular space dilemma and this solved it for me. There's a reason it's rated as low as it is though, it is lousy at its range and generally is a software pain in the neck if you have multiple users and thing gets confused. As usual for generic equipment issues, unplugging both the USB adapter and hub seems to unfreeze the software so you can use it again, or at least tell it to turn off and on and then use it again. But if you install the software, your other users, even power users/admins, etc won't have the software/icon running necessarily when they log in. You have to set it up to start manually for each user.

Talk about obnoxious. I was thinking of giving this thing a rating of three since it helped with my problem and I bought it knowing the complaints about the range, but knowing that short range was all I needed. But now that I think of all the obnoxious problems it had with the software too... one star. And it doesn't deserve that. I can't recall any other Belkin products that gave me so much trouble.

Still Bad

ByReadingdudeon April 4, 2013

Verified Purchase

Would rate this Zero stars. NO support for windows 7 or vista, BUT of course they don't tell you that until you try to install the software. Just a waste of money. DO NOT BUY! I REPEAT, DO NOT BUY! Even though it says you can contact your provider for software, YOU CAN'T. THERE IS NO DRIVER FOR WINDOWS 7 OR VISTA. THIS PRODUCT IS A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. SAVE YOURSELF THE HASSLE.

Useless

ByJameson April 27, 2011

Verified Purchase

I bought this thing for my PS3. When I recived it I found out that it requires drivers. So I was going to use it with my work computer. Then I found out that it ONLY works on XP. I don't know of anybody that has a computer runing XP. I ended up just throwing it away. The seller had it to me in a few days and I was going to return it but never did get around to it. I liked the concept of a wireless usb if it would work. I wish I read the reviews first.

Worked perfectly for my needs...

ByLandon Ashbyon April 30, 2010

Verified Purchase

This worked perfectly for me. People have said this version is far inferior to the new version and I'm sure that's true, but this met my needs and was much cheaper.

I needed this to connect a digital scale to my computer in my work laboratory. My computer and the scale are on two opposite walls and I did not want to move the scale nor did I want to run a cable. The distance is approximately 10 feet and everything communicates with no hiccups. According to the utility the signal is at 90%.

My computer runs Windows XP Pro. Installation was quick and easy. The reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars was because I plugged an external hard drive into it and the transfer speeds were a bit below the advertised speeds. The signal said 90% but speeds were about 60% of advertised. Still, for being wireless, it works great.

While the newer model may be significantly better, I can't in good faith give this a lower rating just because there is a better one available. Simply put, if you don't need a lot of range and you don't need super speeds, this is a much less expensive alternative.

Ok, but...

ByZaphod Betelgeuseon August 20, 2011

Verified Purchase

This seems like it would be an awesome product, but doesn't work with WIN 7. Calls to the IO support line weren't really helpful, either (but I may have just gotten a person having a bad day). Other than that, it seems like a good enough product -- I just can't tell, since it only works on my computer as a wired-in 4-port hub.

Do not buy this one

ByPhil Braidion May 5, 2007

Verified Purchase

To be fair Belkin has always provided its costumers with grade A+products, unfortunately they failed to do so with this one. It does not have Vista support, loaded with Bugs, goes on & off whenever it feels like, and comes at a hefty price.The strange thing is that "Belkin Customer Care" acknowledges the problem and will offer you a cash back refund. The only question here is why is Amazon & Belkin still selling it when Belkin already labeled it as a defective product,and discontinued its production.

Do not buy this one, you will regret it !!!

Drivers are for windows ONLY.

ByGary Bon September 4, 2013

Verified Purchase

The product requires drivers, and the drivers are windows only, which entirely defeated the reason I bought it. I may try some windows wrappers later, but I really would rather avoid this.

Don't buy it. Don't. Seriously. Don't.

ByJoshua Graessleyon July 28, 2007

Verified Purchase

A wireless USB hub is very appealing. The implementation of this one makes it useless.

The software only runs on Windows XP. There are no Vista drivers. The hub does not work until you've logged in and even then, it takes a few seconds. Since you have to have log in before the hub will work, your mouse and keyboard can't be plugged in to the wireless hub. This also means that USB audio devices that must be plugged in at boot will not work. I don't understand why Windows requires USB audio devices to be plugged in at boot, but that's Microsoft's fault, not Belkins.

It gets better. Yesterday, we rebooted the machine and my brother logged in with his account. The wireless hub didn't work at all because the software wasn't installed for him. Why would the installer even bother installing this software for only one user? No problem, we installed the software on his account. Reboot. Everything seemed to work. Fast user switch to my account and the software freaks out because the software running on his account is using the device. The USB devices attached to that hub go offline.

To Summarize:
- No Vista support
- Can't use it for keyboard/mouse
- No support for multiple user accounts
- Fast user switching messes it up

However tempted you may be, don't buy this product until they address these issues. This product is not ready for prime time. On the plus side, it seems like all of these problems are just related to software. If Belkin decides to, they could probably fix all of these problems in software.
