Customer Reviews:
need external power.......2007-12-13
Without external power (not come with the package), this unit does not work too well. Sorry I bought two for my laptop, I do not want to carry another external power adopter.
Good Product.......2007-12-07
It is a good stuff, but it's too short and I'll need to buy a cable extension.
Excellent product for any lap top owner........2007-11-28
I have a "lesser expensive" HP that runs windows XP. This hub will run my printer, my scanner, and both my work and personal flash drives (both are 2gb) AT THE SAME TIME. There is no power issue and everything runs fast. Plug and play works in seconds. What more could you ask for - it works - and excellent at that!
plug in and go.......2007-11-25
great little product!! works very well
*******dont listen to any other reviews********* this works very well if you own win 98 and higher!! if you have XP works in seconds. just plug it in and your ready. only takes few second to configure then its good to go.
you'll be happy that you can plug in any usb and go like a keyboard/mp3 player what ever you need. just ready **************
Good, Easy to use USB Hub.......2007-11-21
As expected, it works fine.
What is unusual is that it always triggers a warning that it could be run at a higher speed.
Leads me to believe it's actually wired as a USB 1.1 device, not a USB 2.

Customer Reviews:
Good - works..........2007-12-22
I was wary given some reviews, but didn't really want to spend a ton of money on something that should be so simple.
I use this for a laptop that has only 1 usb port on the docking hub. All the peripherals are linked to it, and everything works fine about 2-3 months in.
Cheap and so far it works just fine.
USB hub.......2007-09-19
It seems good. The only problem was its very short cable, which meant I had to spend more money to get a USB extension cable. It wouldn't necessarily be a problem for a laptop, but for a desktop it raised the cost of the hub.
Works well - no problems.......2007-08-30
Worked right out of the box. No set up. No problems at all. Great item. Would buy another if I needed extra USB ports.
Works great.......2007-08-27
I plugged it in and it ran 4 USB items. Just like it is supposed to.
Light and compact.......2007-08-25
Pros: very small space required, lightweight, very compact to travel (you can attach the male USB end to the hub itself)
Cons: the male end cable is too short: if you use it in a laptop which stands in a frame, or a docking station, the hub stays 'hanging' in the air because the cable is too short; also, there's only one connection led, so if one of your USB devices malfunction, you don't know right away if it's a connection problem.
Although, specially by the price, I think it's a great purchase. Also the embedded AC adapater makes a great difference to competitors.

USB Hub does the job for laptop expansion.......2007-12-26
I have not put this product to any extensive tests. I use it when my laptop is on my desk so that I only have one USB plug to plug in and out. My printer, trackball, and camera are all plugged into the Hub. I can plug the Hub into the laptop, and all the devices auto connect up just fine.
Works Every Time.......2007-12-12
I have 3 of these and they work just fine. We have homes in NH and FL and use laptop PCs. The D-Link units are used so the laptops can be moved with the fewest cable connects and disconnects.
USB hub keeps you upright.......2007-10-17
This is a good thing.
Nobody has to rummage around behind the computer to plug in an iPod or camera.
Works transparently.
I like it.
D-Link DUB-H4 High Speed USB 2.0 4-Port Hub.......2007-10-17
I've been using this USB Port Hub for the last six months. It works just like it's supposed to. The only minor problem is that the device is not recognized by the system until I power down the hub totally. Then it's recognized and works fine. For the low cost investment, I think it's a good value and I would buy another one and recommend this one to anyone.
High Speed Hub.......2007-08-26
As advertised, easy to connect, takes little space, and works like a charm. It pays to double check that the equipment attached will work on a 2.0 hub. For example, my Epson C62 printer will not work with a USB 2.0 port so that is not connected to the new hub. My camera, iPod etc. work great with the new hub.

Great Product.......2007-12-23
Are you looking for great KVM without spending a whole lot? This is the one for you!
Could Not get to work.......2007-11-05
I was excited when I received the unit and thought it was great that it included cables, however I had to return the unit. It would never recognize my keybooard on just the first PC. I tried it on 2 PC,s and technical support had no suggestions, other than it should work plug-and-play. I'm still looking for a replacement.
Easy to set up and works great!.......2007-10-17
Easy to set up...just follow the directions. I had seen some reviews that said there were problems with wireless keyboard and mouse, but I had no problems. Plugged the wireless connector into the keyboard port, and since I use a trackball, plugged it into the mouse port. Amazingly, the wireless mouse also works...a bonus.
Works great with Windows and Mac.......2007-09-22
I've had mine for about a week now, and it's working great. Does exactly what it says... switches smoothly between computers. With Windows, switching is a bit slow because it takes a couple of seconds for Windows to recognize the usb devices each time. It's a lot faster with my Mac... switching is almost instant.
My only complaint is the physical design. When connected to 4 computers, the cables are sticking out all four sides. This makes this huge glob of cables, and makes it almost impossible to set on my desk. It would have been nice if all the cables plugged into one side. For this reason, it gets 4 of 5 stars.
good unit, but could be better.......2007-08-25
This kvm has the advantage that it only needs one single usb port on each of your pc to work. I connected a set of usb mouse and usb keyboard (both microsoft) to the kvm, and all was recognized with no problems. The audio quality is very good. When you switch, there's no beep sound (for me this is good). Also this kit doesn't need ac power adapter, however, there are some disadvantages that can be a deal-breaker for some. It inclues:
-if you have one linux box, the hotkey doesn't work and you need to push the button on the kvm to switch between machines. No big deal.
-when you switch, there is a delay, ie. you can't use immediately the keyboard and mouse, I guess that is because they need to draw power from usb port. This delay is about 5 secs long. I'm used to it now.
-on my windows vista box, I have installed a winxp virtual machine, and when I'm starting this virtual machine, the kvm switch automatically to the next pc connected. The same happens if I'm on Vista and focus back to the vmware window with xp. This is very annoying and the reason I give it 4 stars, because I use virtualisation all the time.
To sum up, this is a good solid and reliable unit, and supports usb devices, very popular nowadays. The price can't be beaten, so if you don't mind the little cons, this may be for you.

It works!.......2007-12-03
Nice little hub that's been working fine for me for over 4 months now. And the price sure was right!
cheapo hub, power didn't work right.......2007-11-01
I leave my original review intact - that said, this hub does not work correctly. I put it against a USB 'scope and watched the packets. It does not operate to spec. On most computers, this will not matter. On any with a strict USB implementation, this does not meet it. That explains the behavior on the G4 laptop with/without power adapter plugged in. On a desktop, the power issue will never come into play, which is why it apparently works, but on many laptops, it will fail, even with power plugged in.
====
I got this hub to provide me with 4 USB 2.0 ports on my Apple Powerbook G4. My iPod Shuffle needed power and would not mount via 2.0, only the USB1.1 port. This is advertised as a powered hub and I did in fact plug it in, but apparently it does not announce itself as such to the computer. My thumb drive would not work through the hub -- it would work directly -- power or no power. I kept getting low power warnings and the drive wouldn't appear. The Shuffle just didn't work - but I did not expect it to at this point.
I know the USB2.0 port on this laptop in a little strict in its implementation, but the hub should have at least powered a thumb drive (it did light its LED) and allow the computer to detect it. I returned it and got a small Belkin four-port powered hub called the "Clip Hub". Plugged it in and connected it with two thumb drives, and my iPod shuffle to the same USB port on the laptop -- no problems and quick performance.
Cheap and works GREAT!.......2007-10-01
This product works even better than I expected. I picked it up for my laptop, which only has 2 usb ports. I currently have a mouse, keyboard, printer, and ipod charger hooked up to it, and have had no problems or lag whatsoever. I have even tested it on both Windows and Mac to ensure that it works for both OS's. I highly recommend this for notebooks!
Just what was needed!.......2007-06-27
Now my older Tower Computer Can run the new 2.0 usb atachments!
Thanks Triplite for a great add on

Great little powered USB 2 Hub.......2006-02-01
This item is smaller than a deck of cards and provides 4 powered USB 2 ports. The Amazon description indicates this is a USB 1.1 device. The literature indicates that it isa a USB 2 device. I required a powered hub for my notebook computer that was USB 1.1 compliant. My system indicates that the Hub would work faster on a USB 2 port - but it works without issues on my notebook. I bought this USB Hub because the manufacturer - TrippLite is a very reputable name and makes great products.
I have not been disappointed.

Almost Perfect.......2007-08-22
As other reviewers have stated, this unit does not auto-select. But in every other respect it delivers. I am even able to scan with my Epson RX580 on all the connected computers, which I was not expecting after reading the reviews. Needless to say I am very satisfied!
It's okay, but..........2007-03-09
installs easily and works well if just trying to print. I am using it as a hub to 3 computers and for the most part it does what it says. On the downside, the printer is an HP Officejet All-in-One, and the hub does not work well with the HP software with regard to electronically faxing or scanning when switching between computers. More often than not, I get a communication error causing me to reboot the computer and the printer. I'm thinking of spending the extra cash and going full wireless for full functionality. If you just want to share a generic print function, it does do the job, and is a low cost solution.
Excellent switch.......2007-03-08
I bought this to link multiple pcs to the same printer. It works perfectly.
Works well, wish it can switch automatically.......2007-01-11
It works well and is easy to use, just you need to manually push a switch button either on the screen or on the physical box itself everytime you want to print from a different computer. I wish it can switch automatically but I could not find such a device online. If anyone knows please let me know.
