Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Belkin Certified Wireless USB 4-Port Hub with Adapter (F5U302)
Customer Review: Works well
Summary: 4 Stars
I just installed this and it works well. Setup was easy and the product does what it's intended to. I had an HP all-in-one connected via USB. The other reviewer was right about it working only when it has a direct line of sight.
It does come with a vertical stand to connect the wireless transmitter into. This allows you to not have to connect the wireless transmitter directly to your laptop but rather have it sit on this vertical stand and then the vertical stand connects to your laptop. This will at least allow you to move the stand & wireless transmitter around a bit to get the direct line of sight.
Funny thing is after everything was working good, I put the wireless hub behind the printer (no longer direct line of sight) and it still works. It didn't detect it when I did this during the setup though. The signal dropped from 4 bars to 3 bars but still prints fine. I suspect that the signal must bounce off the wall since the printer and wireless hub were next to a corner of the walls.
This thing is expensive though. Amazon of course ships the slowest way possible if you use their free shipping.
