USB hub attached to Linksys 610n? Can a USB hub be attached to Linksys 610n and so that we can take advantage of multiple shared drive/printer on a home wireless network?

I've been trying this with no success. A single drive through a 7-port usb hub worked fine. However, upon connecting three drives, one TB drive became corrupted and had to be reformatted! The other two TB drives were connected and able to be shared. Upon both hookups my wired connection continued to lose and regain internet; followed by not being able to access the router admin from firefox. At this point I'm ready to just connect a single tb drive and give up on multiple drives. If I have any later success I'll post again. Good luck.

I have used this device on different brands of netbooks and laptops and I have had no problems .I do agree with the previous reply that for additional ports you can use a USB hub

This hub isn't for doing that. It's for adding USB slots when your computer's USB slots are filled. I have USB lines from two external drives, a printer, a mouse, and a cooling pad hooked up to my hub. You'll still need to plug your external drives power adaptors into a suge surpressor.

The answer is a qualified yes, because it depends on the router. Go to http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/GetArticle.aspx?docid=0868d4e24a6a468280c3cf270c1d6a31_21517.xml&pid;=1&converted;=0 for a list of the linksys wireless routers that support USB external storage. This will also tell you what you need to do to set up the storage. Keep in mind that the drive inside your enclosure must be formatted FAT32 or NTFS.

Yes. You can connect the computer and printer to a WIRED Ethernet network. If you don't need to share the printer, just connect the computer to the printer with the USB cable included.

This is usb model and so connects to the hub on the square stand. To use wirelessly you need the Ethernet model so you can connect to your wireless router.

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've been using mine with a USB hub since I got it and haven't had any problems at all.

I know this isn't answering you question, but I don't know. I don't even use mine anymore because it wasn't so great. I recommend getting a Belkin USB hub.

I use a WD portable drive and it works well with this USB hub. (I did not try with more than one external drives.)

Frist you have a Plugable® 7-Port Aluminum USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Hub with 20W Power Adapter (VIA VL812 Rev B2 Chipset with v9081 Firmware for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux Support. A hub will not enable you to network three computers and a hub. You need a router which will enable you to create a network on which you may have three computers and a printer that may each communicate with each other. That is not only can you print from any one of your computers but also send files between two computers for instance. Hope this helps.

I do not know for sure but if a USB Mouse adapter will work in a USB Hub I believe it is possible. I think I do know is that this unit has some Cons you need to make sure the IO sharing port software is running when you want to use it and it work best wired to your network.

That is how I have mine working. One note of caution: For it to work properly, you should first hook it up directly to each computer you want to switch to a wireless USB Hub. That way, when you install your USB Hub, it'll automatically find the printer. What brand of USB Wireless hub are you using?

Genevieve, I would think it would fine as long as the devices on the USB hub don't require much power to operate, but any device that gets its power only from the USB port and has no power supply of its own could suffer, but I just don't know for sure since all I used it for was a printer and the printer has its own power of course. I wish I could give you a definitive answer on the power part, but I'm sure it would work with a USB hub just fine, especially if the hub has a power supply for itself.

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/

But how would you add more than one external drive? Would you just use a USB hub?

You can still use this printer with USB, wireless is a new feature that is sometimes more convenient for network use. As to price, it is a very good value.
