I have three external EIDE drives and one printer on it. Works great! Slow to initialize, but I have almost 300GB of drive on it. May be an OS issue.
Clean install. Printer sharing is super.
Why do they have two of the USB ports on the front? Cables drag the unit around on the desk.
Happy with the unit.
Works for Me

Works like a charm. Five minute setup. I can now print wirelessly from my laptop, and access two external hard drives - including one that houses all my music files, which I can now play though iTunes wirelessly. Rather elegant. Simple, sleek and affordable. I dig it.

I bought this gadget to connect my iPhone to my MacBook Pro. While the iPhone shows up in the ''Belkin Network USB Hub Control Center'' iTunes cannot see it and obviously if it cannot be seen in iTunes it cannot sync. I also connected a USB hard drive to my MacBook Pro through the Hub and the speed of file transfer was unacceptably and brutally slow. I wrote to Belkin's support and was advised to ''reflash'' the same most recent version of the firmware which I did but did not change any of the above issues. In that same bit of advice from Belkin they promised that after reflashing I should see my iPhone in the ''My Computer'' folder. Obviously they know nothing about Mac's because a ''My Computer'' folder is a Windows thing. The tech from Belkin went on to suggest if his suggestions didn't work that I should follow-up with the software/hardware vendor of the items that I wish to connect. They pass the buck for their shortcomings! Stay clear if a Mac user!

This product could not have been easier to install. Hook up the power, connect to router, connect printers, install software. Worked perfectly on very first attempt.

I have three printers hooked in and it works fine
I'm not sure why the other user is having problems with it. It's not that complex. Cheaper than a Jet Direct Box, better software and more funtionality than an IO gear print server. I'd get another if I needed one.
PROS: does what it says.
CONS: If a user on another PC forgets to disconnect then you have to manually find and disconnect, not that big of a deal, but a little inconvenient. Should have a force log-off feature....but it don't. So I have to knock one off for features.
