I have a HP SmartMedia Home Server EX490 with an increasingly unstable Ethernet port. Is this device compatible with Windows Home Server OS?

I'm fairly certain this Should be able to function as a bypass to your built in Ethernet port, you may have to disable the on board port in the bios and/or drive manager. @$13.95 it's certainly worth a try. You could also try a wireless USB adapter also if you have a wireless access point.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thanks for asking! You may use this with Windows Home Server, it should use the Windows XP drivers as WHS is based on Windows Server 2003 which uses the Windows XP driver set. Windows Home Server 2011 uses the Windows 7 driver set.

Yes. The server is indifferent to the type of OS you choose to run on it: ie, Win8.1, WHS, Windows Server, Ubuntu, etc: it will act like a PC with a small form and a lot of durability. Plex Media can then be downloaded and will run well even as configured; however increasing ram will make for a smoother video presentation, as will installing some Hybrid 1TB drives (which will act like SSD's in terms of speed), and provide for large amounts of media storage. Hope this helps, we have had impressive service from our HP Proliants.

I am sorry I do not use Windows OS but it works well with Ubuntu and Mint distros. It is also an IPv6 ready Router in case your ISP supports that...

I am wondering the same, I'm planning to have this device for a freeNAS (freenas.org) with the PLEX media server, but don't know if is powerful enough

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.

I have HP Procurve switches and they work (HP 1800 series, an 8 port and 24 port) both work fine. I'm not sure what models Synology state as working. I would assume that the vast majority of switches supporting Link Aggregation would work these days, however, I've only had direct experience with the HP 1800's, which work very well. (Corrected Switch Model series)

Yes this will work.with any pc that has a wireless card or ethernet port. It comes with a quick start guide with pictures to help you with the installation. I use only Ubiquiti products and have had some point to point links running for as long as 3 years without any problems.

Sorry, can't speak to that specific configuration. We are using win 7 home premium w/ usb 2.0. All I can say is that usb 3.0 was very glitchy and would not work consistently. Some of the interfaces are very slow, like using the printer. But overall works very well.

I have a similar board running pfsense 2.1. Some features are not supported by freebsd but you won't likely need USB3 or fully featured video drivers. You'd probably want a second NIC though.

I assume you mean using ethernet out from a DSL Modem or DSL modem/router combo INTO one of these to transmit internet over your in home coax? No that won't work you need to use HPNA compliant coax to ethernet bridge.

No, I have Windows 7 Home Premium x64 SP1 and Cisco Linksys 600N Wireless USB Adapter with Dual Band and a HP G60-635DX Notebook PC that HP sent me Recovery Disk Kit for New Compaq and HP PCs of which there is no longer support for this PC. Microsoft stopped giving free updates to Windows operating systems and the Office Professional 2010 has stopped working as well. So good luck finding an answer.

Yes it is. The setup can be a little off on windows 7 as it tried to install it to a wrong port. HP was great. A quick call and they fixed it. If you are using it on a network, the setup is no problem. I was setting it up through a USB. But again, HP was quickly able to fix it

I do not know. I used a Windows based OS and I only used it to hook up my printer to my router.

Have an HP Pavilion with Windows 8.1 and it works perfectly.Just plug in the small wireless USB unit into a port and away it goes. Perfect.

MANUFACTURER RESPONSE: Thanks for asking! S.M.A.R.T. status is supported using this docking station. I have tested smartctl under Fedora 20 and it works splendidly! This particular product uses the ASMedia ASM1053E Chipset. Sincerely,- Ivan Plugable Technologies
