3.0 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for!, 16 Jan 2005
By Siriam (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
That this unit works straight out of the package with no problems on my XP programme computer in needing no new drivers or programmes; it effectively doubles many computers USB port availability and allows plug in and play of new USB connections without hassle, and is great value for money is beyond dispute.

However be aware that while almost double the price of this item the comparable Targus Ultra Mini 4 Port Hub or other equivalents may be a better long term alternative if you want:

1. Better indications of full power up and port status (4 separate blue leds per each USB connection versus a hard to see single green for the hub here;

2. Better powering of more power hungry connections esp. MP3s and other high speed connections;

3. An extension lead which for desk top computers gives you much greater range and flexibility than the short lead here which will just let the hub clear the port connection (more marginal issue if you are laptop based).

This is good value if you want the basics, but may be found wanting if any of the above criteria are important to you.

5.0 out of 5 stars IT COULDN'T BE SIMPLER!, 22 Oct 2003
By CLIVE G. FRANCIS (LEICESTER United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I have to admit that as a fully paid up member of the 'Grey Army', I don't understand computers at all. So installing anything new onto my ex. works antique machine is usually a nightmare. My 8 year old nephew always has to rescue me.
The thought of adding a device to simplify all my USB connections gave me a few sleepless nights.

The Linksys USB Hub arrived in the post. After spending over half an hour removing all the packaging, and with my nephew on standby, I plugged it into the back of my computer, connected all the various USB leads, pressed the "on" button, and everything simply worked! Why can't it always be like that?

Got to hire a skip now to take away all the packaging.

4.0 out of 5 stars its great but...., 4 Jan 2004
By Mike Phillips "mike phillips" (Woking, Surrey) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I needed a compact USB hub because my PC is in the kitchen and I need to keep wiring and connections neat and tidy. The Linksys worked straight out of the box on my XP machine with no problems. However, the 4 port hub is on a small (5 cm) lead which means if you plug it into the USB port on the back of your PC (where most USB ports live), it is rather inaccessable. Fine if you do not intend swapping peripherals but a pain if you do.

It's compact size is ideal for laptop users or for desktop users that don't tinker!
