Amazon.com Product Description
Your home computers are networked wirelessly, but with all the digital photos, video and music your family has been collecting, they're all running out of hard drive space. And what's more, you and your kids each need access to a printer. With the Belkin Network USB Hub, you can give each computer on your network direct wireless access to up to 15 devices, including an external hard drive to store your family's digital media and a printer that everyone on your network can share. With this convenient, easy-to-install device, the days of purchasing separate printers and peripherals for each of your computers is over. Share up toFifteen Devices Wirelessly
The Belkin Network USB Hub allows you to give every computer connected to your network access to up to 15 USB devices. (The Hub itself will connect directly to five devices, but it also lets you "daisy chain" three additional USB hubs to it, so that you can connect a total of 15 USB devices to your network computers.) While the Hub is specifically designed for printers and mass-storage devices, it also works for most other USB devices, including most standard webcams, keyboards and mice, multifunction machines, scanners, and media readers. 
Enjoy simple setup and operation right out of the box. View larger. | 
Included software manages all the devices attached to the Hub. View larger. | - Sharing up to 15 USB devices wirelessly, including printers, digital cameras and scanners
- Backing up and accessing data from a shared external storage device
- Playing music from an MP3 player connected to a USB dock (using USB speakers)
| 
The perfect solution for connecting to your USB devices and drives from a wireless laptop. Note: The Hub requires a a wireless router, which must be purchased separately. View larger. | You can even dock an MP3 player and play music through your USB speakers wirelessly. If your device has a USB connection, chances are that everyone on your network can access it wirelessly. (Some high-speed devices, such as high-definition webcams and video docking stations, may not be compatible with the Network USB Hub.) Once the Hub is set up, you simply plug your USB devices into one of its five USB ports, and the Hub seamlessly installs software that makes USB printers and other devices appear to be connected to your network computers. The convenience of this direct USB-connection emulation requires that only one user be linked to each device at a time. So if your daughter is editing video on the external hard drive, the software lets you contact her to request that she disconnects from the drive so you can access it. With printers, the Hub automatically disconnects users after completing a print job, so that other users on your network can print. Quick and Easy Set Up
Even if you don't have an external hard drive or other peripherals you want your computers to access, the Belkin USB Hub is one of the best ways you can share a printer on your network. It not only effectively functions as the industry's first reliable print server, it's also one of the easiest to install. Set-up takes less than three minutes with the included CD. Simply insert the set-up disk, and in five easy steps you'll be ready to go. If you have the Windows firewall activated on your PC, the Hub will automatically detect it and ask you if you wish to allow it to work from behind the firewall. (Users of other firewalls must manually add the device driver to their list of allowed programs.) While the Belkin USB Hub works best with the Belkin N1 Wireless Router (a router is not included with the Hub), it will work seamlessly with any existing wireless router. The distance and quality of the connection of your computers to your USB devices will depend on the quality of your router and your Internet connection. And aside from having a wireless network and USB devices you want to connect to, the only requirement is that your computers are running Window XP or Vista. NOTE: The Belkin USB Hub connects directly to your existing wireless router. The Hub does not have routing capabilities, and does not include a router. You must purchase the router separately.

 Exactly what I needed! December 19, 2008
I'm not sure why there are so many negative reviews about this product. I needed to share a printer between my desktop & laptop - Desktop is a Gateway, Laptop is a Dell. Both run Vista. I almost didn't get this based on the lousy reviews... I'm glad I took the chance this thing is PERFECT.
I am very far from a computer wiz - so the reviews scared me a bit. However, for the price I figured I would give it a whirl. I followed Belkin's instructions - and was printing from both computers within 30 minutes.
I have a verizon provided wireless router - no problem there. I basically plugged it in, installed the software & was printing.
Maybe the folks giving it negative reviews are using a lot of devices. I have an all-in-in HP printer 5700 series printer. That is all that I connected & that is all I print from.
I'm loving my Belkin - it was what I needed at a price which can't be beat.
I would highly recommend this!
as promised November 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 November 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 November 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!
