does the Hub work over Wifi, or must it be connected via Ethernet only?

The hub does not work over WiFi today but that might be an option down the road. You can always try a wireless bridge. It connects via Ethernet cable and then uses the wireless signal.

It needs a wired connection but even then this is a very poor system. It is unreliable and buggy. The recent update made mine forget all the sensors.

The hub is wired by ethernet into your router but all the other devices work fine with house wifi, but you have to be on the same router and not using an extender for some of them. Very impressed with the simplicity of setup and ease of operation, especially over the iPhone when away from the house.

The controller hub plugs into your router with a cable, then communicate wirelessly to the devices on the system. The controller will then send out signals over the Internet to your phone if it receives the appropriate signals from the initiating devices/sensors. I find that the system works good, but if your internet connection goes down, the signal won't go out to your phone. It will just ring within the building.

I hardwired connection would be best. I cannot recommend this system. It was very sporadic operating on my iPhone. I found it to be undependable.

Ethernet only I am not sure if but someone said there was wifi hardware capabilities that could come with a update. Not sure if this is true but not Ethernet is the only way.

It works over wifi, very simple setup procedure. Takes around 2 minutes. It however needs to be connected via Ethernet into your modem. I use an Apple AirPort Extreme.

Locally yes via wifi. But no remotely because that is how you connect to the hub remotely through you home network (opening a port to allow remote access). It is clear in the manual which can be downloaded

It could be so many things, but it's interesting that you're using a Linksys router. I initially tried using a Linksys ethernet hub and it didn't work. I then switched to a DLink wireless bridge and have had no issues with it. The DLink connects with my Airport Extreme base station just fine. I wonder if the BD300 has a Linksys issue.

I am not sure that I understand the question, but for me it works as plug-and-play with my iMac- no hub.

WiFi is not available for connecting to your router. The hub requires an Ethernet cable.

It has a ZigBee Radio; no internet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZigBeeA Zigbee Coordinator (hub) is required to interact with a local network or Internet.Like another competing standard; Z-Wave; these home automation devices are completely separate from IP (The Internet Protocol); only the hub is exposed to an IP network

The hub will NOT work with out power. I tried it out with one USB drive and it will not read the drive until AC is added to the unit.

No, it does not. It won't function as a hub without the power source either (at least not to devices that require power, eg, my WiFi card)

It is a powered hub. The only thing I haven't been able to connect was an Apple SuperDrive.

The best performance is over Ethernet. The USB port allows you to plugin the manufacturers wireless adapter so that the Transporter can operate over a wireless network. I believe the USB port is not supported for any other use.but you can use the Transporter wirelsslt by installing a

Check for updated drivers for the USB... might have to call Belkin for updated software/drivers ... I know... I know... it's usb... should have the drivers installed right / backward compatible?? Might want to try to update the hub as well... When I bought mine years ago.. it had already been outdated by the standards of that day. I now use a wireless router with the USB ports built in... So MUCH BETTER! ... and you can network the item.. instead of waiting on the item to wake up from sleep mode....

There is an Ethernet connection socket on the back. It isn't wireless (it's a desktop unit). Having said that, I bought/installed a USB wireless network adapter on the 2 units bought due to difficulties in running cable.

Mine works with my Powered hub, but I have to unplug it when I boot or reboot as it causes the boot to hang.

is the usb port running off a hub or directly to the computer? needs to connect directly to the computer

It's only got 1 Ethernet port. With that said, I've been considering attaching a hub to it to connect more and I can't think of a reason it wouldn't work.

They don't go through the ethernet. But I'm not 100% sure what the different setups can be. I would contact tripp lite tech support for details

You can use this device connected to a USB 3.0 hub. I use it with the Plugable 7 port USB 3.0 hub with two monitors and the Ethernet connected and it works great.
