Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Belkin USB 2.0 Plus Hub (7 Port) F5U307-WHT
Customer Review: Defective for the 3rd time since 11/2008
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought the 1st one in 11/2008. It failed in 02/2009. Belkin sent a replacement but I had to pay to ship the old one back.
Installed the replacement on 02/20/2009. It failed on 02/24/2009. After I complained, they sent another one with a call tag so there was no charge to me. Installed it on 03/16/2009.
Now the 2nd replacement has failed (05/18/2009). Same problems, running very Hot, loses connection, etc.
Submitted a complaint to the Consumer Products Safety Commission. Only a matter of time before one of these causes a fire for someone.
Customer Review: Worked 7 months
Summary: 1 Stars
Hub worked fine for seven months. Then it began running hot. Seems to have damaged one device plugged into it, too. Not recommended.Customer Review: Works as advertised!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had cheaper ones that did not have the power to use multiple devices.
I now have a USB printer, iPod, Dymo printer, memory card reader and trackball connected and all work!
Customer Review: Seemed to work fine, then it died.
Summary: 1 Stars
I really liked the design of this hub. And I still do. Too bad it is uselss now. It seemed to work fine in the beginning. After about a year, I noticed that my shared printer would occasionally stop working. I had the hub connected to an Airport Extreme, and that way I could share the printer over my wireless network. The hub was the last thing that I suspected, until I tried using an older 4-port hub in its place, and then things were working again. Sure enough, it was the Belkin hub that had died. This looked like a good deal in the beginning, but not any more. Customer Review: Think twice before buying.
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this thing about a year ago and everything seemed to be going find. I am currently using 6 of the USB plugs but just recently I've realized I have to unplug the USB from my computer during DOS and plug the thing back into the computer after windows boots up. This is getting quite annoying. Also, I'm starting to realize that some of the USB plugs are not working (i.e. my Sennheiser headset) is not being recognized by my computer. I'm not sure if it is just time to get another hub or if this is just not very well made. I think I'm going to try cables to go brand next. I've now tried several different kinds of Belkin, a Kensington, and a host of others and it looks like this particular Belkin loses in terms of longevity.
