Powered or unpowered.......2007-02-01

I have both the 4-port and 7-port Belkin USB hubs. Both have worked as advertised for more than three years. Today the 7-port hub gave up so it is time to buy a new one.

Regarding others comments about the 4-port hub not being powered, there is a switch on the side that allows you to switch between powered and unpowered ports. Why you would want to do this I don't know. If your hub seems not to be powered check the switch.

I'm not certain exactly when I bought the 4-port hub. I believe it was about a year ago. It appeared to work well with my PowerBook G4 and my new iMac, but, as noted by others, it does not provide power to devices even though it is itself powered. Other than that it worked OK for a while, then simply quit working. The lights come on for about 5 seconds, then go out. Short? Anyway, I'm going to try another brand as a replacement.

I bought a Belkin USB hub with a power cable thinking it would be a powered hub. Well, the red light came on indicating that the power cable was working, but the USB connection never did work, regardless of how I tried to connect it to my computer.

Since my iMac only has 3 USB ports. 1 is used by the keyboard. 1 for the printer and the last for a router. BUT that still leaves my scanner, DSL modem and VOIP telephone. So I bought this hub. From day one my computer would report low USB power. I would then have to unplug 1 or 2 things to get something else to work. Although it pluggs into a power outlet, apparently, the individual ports are not powered (self powered). I replaced it with a D-Link which is working GREAT with things plugged into all 4 ports. I recommend that you pass on this product and go with a D-Link.

Misleading "powered" Hub.......2006-06-22

This is not a good product if your USB devices need power. Even though the hub comes with a Power Supply, it does not power the devices plugged into it. For me, that makes this a worthless hub. The 7 port version provides power to the bus, and is therefore far superior.
