Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 4-Port Hub - hub - 4 ports

...choose? I chose the Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 4-Port Hub; this was based on the price, availability and looks. The price and availability of the USB hub were my main purchasing considerations. What did I get? I got the main USB hub, a connection cable (one end plugs into the hub and the other plugs into a USB port on the computer), a transformer (this supplies power to the hub via a cable that plugs into the hub, more about this later in the review) ...
...£25. What does it look like? The hub itself is squircle shaped (a cross between a square and a circle) on one end are four USB ports, at one side is a socket for connecting the USB lead that connects the hub to the computer and another socket for the power supply that comes from the transformer. On the top and directly over the USB sockets are LED's that tell me when any of the USB sockets are in use and another LED that tells me if it is connected ...

...as high as 12 Mbps. Belkin also produce a whole range of cables to link other devices to a USB port. I could consider moving my parallel printer onto the hub. Let’s see, the manual says you can plug in any USB device: mouse, keyboard, joystick, even another USB hub. What’s this? You can daisy chain up to 127 USB devices into one PC USB port? Right, how about .. A scanner? …. An internet camera? ……. A CD writer? …….. A Region 1 DVD-CDROM? ………... ...

Review of Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 4-Port Hub - hub - 4 ports

The Belkin Hi-speed Usb hub has made using Usb devices almost a pleasure instead of the usual battle with wires and cables which inhabit the dark recesses at the back of my hard drive! The hub allows you to connect up to 4 Usb devices at the same time to your computer or laptop. It was a lazy Saturday afternoon when I got the dreaded call up the stairs that all people who are competent in the art of computing dreads! Yes I am talking about the ...

...Cry? No! You get a Belkin 4 port hub. It basically plugs in to one of your existing ports and allows you to then plug a further 3 extra devices in. No installation is required; it is a straight plug n play job. You can "daisy chain" these devices to connect up to 127 USB peripherals to each socket on your PC. The only downside is that you do have to plug it in to a mains socket, meaning yet another one to find. ----====What Does It Look Like?====---- ...

Also on the back is the socket in to which you plug the power adaptor, and the USB cable that goes to the computer. The cable to connect it to the computer is included in the box and is about 1.8m long. ----====Anything Else?====---- Not really, it’s an easy to use/install device, which makes connecting more ...

...isn't going to be enough, Belkin also do a 7 port version, though this costs more. You can even connect these into each other giving anything up to a maximum of 127 devices per port! Now that would be a lot of wires! This hub is USB 1.1, operating at an impressive 12Mbps, though if you really need faster than this, Belkin also do a USB 2.0 version for a little more of your money which runs at 480Mbps. Very easy to use, stylish design and does what ...

Review of Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 4-Port Hub - hub - 4 ports

I found this product an excellent item! Around 6 months ago i was looking for a wireless router for my computers around my house. I needed a powerful and reliable router because my house is fairly big with lots of walls inbetween the computer, hense affecting the signal. I found this router on the internet and after reading through the specification i found it worked over 100m in distance to each computer. I bought it and have had no problems with ...
...and took around 10 minutes to fully set up. The only problem i sometimes have with it, is that the signal weakens at random times of use, this is easierly solved however, because you just search for the network again and once found, it will re-connect with no problems. Overall a very pleasing product! ...
