Does this support USB hosting?

I've personally never tried it, but I belive you could, also, if it doesn't work, you could always return it.

No, this is impossible with a USB Hub. The functionality you want can be achieved with a KVM Switch (just search on Amazon), or if you want to try it with Software, try checking out http://synergy-project.org/

The USB port acts as a print server for any usb printer. You can't add an external hard disk to this unit

In short, no. USB as a protocol supports far more devices through a single port than you can physically put on this hub. And, because of how the data is packaged and transmitted, it all moves at the same speed, regardless of the number of sources. For example, I have 3 devices (a wireless mouse, a printer and an external HardDrive) running through mine, and they all perform perfectly.

Hi, I have tried with Win XP, WIn 7, and Linux. IT should pretty much work with any OS except maybe the very old which do not support or have trouble detecting USB connections.Regards.

Depends on the router, be sure to check out the router's manual to see if it can address 3TB of storage and preferrably be able to work with USB 3.0

I have not found a driver, but I figured out how to write and read from the other tools and AP they provide. Using teh USB port in a shell script works for me, but my code is a ways away from being complete, I was able to get it to make a request and read the request but to this point I have not done anything else on it, just been too busy.

Actually that depends. If you have a network router that provides the option for plugging in external hard-drives, and thus acting like a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device, then no - you do not need your computer to host this drive. Also, if you don't have something that will provide direct network access to the drive, you could just attach it to whatever computing device (as long as it has a USB 2.0 or greater port, I believe this is backward compatible to USB 2.0) that you would like to use it on at the time, i.e., a media server, laptop, desktop, even a tablet if it has the appropriate USB port (mini USB port might work if you have a conversion cable). Hope this helps. Actually that depends.

I'm not the seller, sorry. I'd suggest looking up some installation guides because it can be a little tricky I had to buy a powered USB hub when I got mine.

Use the web page from the AC66U. On the left you will see USB. Click that.That will give you page where you can set the name of the server, type of server etc. I would suggest getting some media on a USB drive first and pluging that into the ASUS.I don't use this feature but that should get you going!

It works with any USB drive but is very unstable, slow and doesn't allow access to multiple computers at the same time. Don't buy it. It is not a good product.

Yes, you just need a USB port. It doesn't matter what the operating system is. I hope this helps. I am very happy with my hub.

You can plug in anything that has a network port and make it wireless, but don't think a USB will work. There are plenty of USB wireless network adaptors though.

Sorry, its USB 3.0/2.0 only. The only way to get it on the network would be to connect to a computer and then create a share.

sorry, I haven`t tested that. I will have a USB3 portable hd soon. I'll check it out.

This device is extender for the original Router.This is not the router.So you can not connect USB.

I didn't see anything in the documentation or technical specs that it directly supports the "USB Attached SCSI Protocol" (which is supported in Win8, but I don't think Win7). Keep in mind that the USB host controller also needs to support UASP. It should be able to natively support a 6TB drive. (Assuming the "Should" box was checked off on the engineering build sheet.) It's probably more a question of "Does your OS support 6TB in the way that you want to use it?"
