will this be able to share a usb 3 hub?

(Edit; the setup that was giving me fits: Thinkpad X230T>dockingstation>SIIG Switch>USB3.0 Hub with keyboard and mouse plugged into it) I found that the combination of this plugged into my thinkpad docking station (USB 2.0 are all that are available there) with an Anker 4-port hub (AH400) plugged into this, which then had my mouse would recognize immediately but my Microsoft Ergo 4000 keyboard would take 30-50 seconds to initialize after the login screen. (Keyboard worked fine at BIOS.) Very frustrating (though with such a long chain of peripherals, it's probably not crazy that there is a possibility of issues.)

MANUFACTURER RESPONSE: Thanks for asking! We have not done any testing of our USB 3.0 hubs on the current generation of Airport Extreme routers as they are still only equipped with USB 2.0. At this time we cannot recommend this hub for use with the Airport.

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.

Yes, you can plug in one (or more, with a hub) USB external drive and share those drives over the network just like the docked drive. Note that each hard disk will be a separate share.

No it will not. Thunderbolt and USB 3 are pretty much the same. The weak link will be the firewire protocol.

Yes as long as there is an open USB port..If not you can purchase a simple USB hub and use it that way.

sure. but most usb 3 hubs have some sort of cable either hard wired, or included. typically, they have between 3-6 feet of length. so you may not need this.

No. It is *not a powered hub* and for the record, this is not just a "hub" in the normal sense. This is to switch up to 4 USB devices between 2 computers. I use it for a mouse, keyboard, and microphone and for those devices it works fine. This includes a Razer mouse that does not fully work with at least some other KVM solutions.

I don't know, and I don't have a USB 3.0 hub to try. Their FAQ says nothing either way: http://www.caldigit.com/thunderboltstation/faq.asp

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.

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.

There are two ports. One is a USB 2.0 and the other is a combo eSATA/USB 2.0. I satisfy the need for more with a hub.

Ok it has 2 usb plugs that need to be plugged in at the same time? If this is so will having a usb hub running usb3 work (my hub has the duo like plug side by side on one plug)

USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0. The Hub will work with you Laptop but it will still not give USB 3.0 Speeds it will just perform like USB 2 Hub

I have used two of my USB 3.0 ports to use it. One for power the other for data.

I'm guessing it would do okay as long as the initial USB port you plug into is USB 3.0. I have 6 usb 2.0 drives and 1 usb 3.0 external drives hooked to my hub. The 3.0 drive just flys, but so does the others.

My assumption is yes, only because this is the first USB 3 card that I bought that REALLY gives me USB 3 speeds. Be careful purchasing hubs though. Cheaper isn't always better.
