Not good with printers!, May 4, 2008
By user (Detroit)
I bought this setup for a direct view link with my ugly printers. It worked great for two weeks and now the signal from Windows is corrupting as it goes through the wireless process to the hub. I get an error message with each print attempt. Sending it to Belkin to see what's wrong. Now my ugly printer is out in full view!

OK, May 2, 2008
By user
This product is a little finicky to set up but once working it does OK with a range of up to 8 ft. If it loses signal, simply unplug and replug the remote device to reacquire. I have used it for scanners, printers including all in one's, and all kinds of USB flash and hard drives. For some reason it won't work with the dongle which may be faulty?? It sure eliminated a lot of wires!

Terrible performance: slow and drops connections, March 24, 2008
By user (Redwood City, CA)
The hub is slow, nowhere near the speeds advertised. Even with the computer within 2-3 feet of the hub, it sometimes drops connections to devices. It can be made to work... if it is positioned perfectly in line of sight. I upped my rating to two stars (but the page won't let me) since it is possible to get it to work if positioned ideally. Bottom line: this product is slow, unreliable and I would not recommend it except for very light usage within line of sight.

Poor Reception, but it does work..., December 28, 2007
By user (HOLLISTER, CA USA)
OK So it is easy to setup and use, but if you have a few other wireless devices or an electronically noisy environment then don't expect great range on this product.
The USB connection drops if over 8feet apart and sometimes if you walk in between the transmitter and receiver the signal also drops. Thankfully for me I'm using it to connect to something that I dont use all the time so I'm happy with it but if you are going to want to always use the USB devices you have connected then I would suggest looking for a different product.

Only works with direct line of sight., October 5, 2007
By user (Seattle, WA)
Belkin advertises a range of up to 30' however that ONLY applies if there is a direct line of sight between the transmitter and receiver.
My intent was to set this next to the HDTV and use it to connect to my HTPC in the next room, but it is unable to maintain a signal even 2 feet between the walls.
Very disappointing considering all of my other wireless devices such as my logitech wireless keyboard have no problem even up to the maximum advertised range. At this price point I fully expected better performance.
Consider getting this only if you will be able to set it up in the same room with absolutely no obstructions, as even the slightest obstructions tend to severely limit performance.
