I have got it to share a label printer, scanner, and a few other bits from. You can connect up to 5 devices to it including hard drives. I had a look at some of the cheaper ones but didn't get anywhere and I have used Belkin bits in the past and found them to be great. I can now share my scanner and connect it on which ever PC I am using. Same works with the printer. |
I ordered this from amazon on Wednesday, it turned up today installation was so easy even my dad could do it.
1. turn off router
2. plug in ac to USB hub
3. plug in network cable to USB hub and router
4. turn them both on
5. plugged in USB printer
6. install S/W on pc
7. install drivers for printer when prompted.
8. print.
I even tried a USB HDD with a 1080p WMV file and it played with out any problems.
Will try a USB DVD-R/W drive later with a DVD.
I 100% recommend this.
FYI. I have a Netgear WGT624v3 router.
