Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Great whilst it lasts....
Bought this hub in 2006. Worked instantly and perfectly for a couple of years up to mid 2008 before it gave up. As per other reviews, all peripherals working ok, so just the hub that stopped.
So, would have been 5 stars if I'd sent a review within the 1st 2 years.
Strangely enough I'm still tempted to get another one to replace it!
- Maybe 2 years is a reasonable shelf life for something like this and at under £15 it's not bad value.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Belkin 7-port hub givs up ghost after 7 month
Nice hub, but has ceased working.
All connected items are working so must be the hub.

I did leave it powered up 24 hours per day.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Belkin 7 port
I've had this hub a few months and now has an intermitent fault of losing power. Very annoying when using a printer. The principle is good, shame about the fault.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Blew Out After Less Than a Month
I've read several reviews on Amazon and noticed I'm not the only one who has had this problem. Everything worked fine for maybe a few weeks, then I noticed one day the hub was extremely hot. I had trouble getting it to recognise anything connected to it, then today, it stopped working all together. I tried all my peripherals directly into the usb port and they work fine, so it's the hub. What a disappointment. Avoid this product.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent hub, works fine with my PCs
Suprised to see the various negativbe reviews below, certainly not my experience.

I've used this for maybe 2 years on machines running both 2000 and XP. Installs itself without problems, and all works fine once there. Nice solid bit of kit, and with power supply.

The 2 upright sockets are handy for cameras etc. i've 4 or 5 things plugged into the back and am alsways sticking things in and out of the top sockets.

I don't think its ever caused me any problems at all.
