as promised Nov 29, 2008
I'm using this with a Belkin pre-N router, and the set-up was as easy as promised. Only glitch has nothing to do with the hub, but with my current Samsung printer (which doesn't like Macs)

Not Easy to get it to work Nov 23, 2008
Tried to use this though a router and could not figure it out. Instructions are not as good as they could be.

I love this magic black box Nov 21, 2008
We have three computers, two printers, and one external hard drive for backing up computers, all plugged into the Belkin Hub. The Hub is plugged into a wireless router. So wirelessly we can all print and backup files. For large file transfers such as a few hundred pictures or a lots of songs we hook the hard drive directly to the computer. But for printer sharing and retrieving documents from the hard drive the Belkin usb hub is a miracle machine.

The install was very easy, just put the disk in each computer then plugged the usb hub into our wireless router and hooked up the printers and hard drive and your done.

The only little downfall is every now and then when printing a large files such as one hundred page documents sometimes the belkin hub does not automatically disconnect from the computer so you need to open the hub controller program on the computer and click the "disconnect" box. But it is easy and simple.

Works great, lasts long time!

Works as advertised Nov 21, 2008
On of the things that appealed to me about the Belkin F5L009 network hub was that it *seemed* to match my Airport Extreme wireless router in size and shape, such that I was hoping to stack the two together on my "network shelf" at home. Though the specs indicated that the F5L009 was larger than the Airport, I took a gamble and ordered it anyway. It was a perfect match!

The main reason I wanted this product was so I could run printer utilities that didn't work against printers connected directly to the Airport. For that it worked exactly as advertised!

Now all I need is a matching cable modem.

I'm truly wireless =) Nov 18, 2008
Belkin F5L009 5-Port Network USB Hub
I, too, have been looking for this product for a while, and the payoff couldn't be more sweet. I am not connected to anything right now, but am able to use my wireless mouse, 2 hard drives, the Western Digital My Book Essential 750GB, and the Toshiba Portable USB 2.0 320GB, (which is USB powered), my OfficeJet 6100, and my Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 6000. It was simple enough to connect, but Windows Firewall must not be set to block all incoming connections. After I figured that out, it was a breeze. You plug a device in to the USB hub, and you hear the windows plug and play connect sound. Also, the hub is fast enough to play movies off of the Toshiba USB powered hard drive. Not HD movies, but the regular 700mb kind.

One gripe- I just purchased the Logitech Clearchat Wireless, and the as not fast enough. The sound was choppy on an MP3 and I didnt even try to dictate to Dragon Naturally Speaking 10. But other than that, it does what it says, and it is glorious.

Wait, it does work with the clearchat, I just had to use the USB dongle dock, and it works fine, no choppiness or anything. Have yet to test it with Dragon, but will know in a little bit. Would change my review to a 5 now but I can't seem to edit the rating.

***UPDATE***
Its fast enough to stream 1080p HD H264 Movies. I know, you think I'm lying. I transfer at 1.3MB/s while watching though on a regular WRT54G. It's AMAZING!
