"Does not work" 2010-02-15
By Joe (Chicago)
I bought this installed it and got the same "certificate out of date" message as the other review said but when i called tedh support after sitting on hold for 10 minutes they routed me to voice mail. Thats right I sat on hold for ten minutes to talk to the voice mail after repeating the process and leaving another message I have come to the realizatoin that they are terrible at tech support and sent it back. Oh and by the way I still have not recieved a call back from the "24/7" tech support line and its been 2 days.

"DO NOT BUY Range bad! maybe 5 feet if you are lucky!" 2010-01-21
By Terry C. Andrews (Atlanta, GA)
I bought this item to extend usb use to my conference table which is no more than 5 foot away, It could not connect to hub. I setup this device per the CD given and all programs installed properly, but when trying to use for first time got error code 25 certificate out of date. Mind you why, when you buy a device brand new you dont expect this error. Called tech support and you have to download the setup file again >35Mb and re-instal I am certain that everyone will have to do this as I had no problems with installation, and the tech support guy new too quickly what the problem was. The great thing about tech support is there was less than 15 seconds on response.

The Product does work good @ 3 feet away but the further away from the device the transfer rate slows then quits at around 4 foot.

"Perfect for my purposes" 2009-12-10
By Tekkie (Michigan)

I needed this mostly to connect to hard drives from anywhere in my small office area. Works fine. I use it up to 10 feet away from the hub, all the range I need. My external hard drives work through the hub with no problem. I rate it high for making things more convenient, giving me a no-wire connection to storage from anywhere I happen to be working.

Also, I had a question about the "associated" process to link up the transmitter and the usb hub. I called IOGear and poured a coffee, figuring I'd be on hold for a while, as is common with tech support around the world. But to my surprise, I was talking to a tech in less than a minute. True story. Your opinion of the hub will depend on exactly what you need it for and your expecations of range.

"really?" 2009-12-09
By D. Marr (Syr, NY)
Installation seemed fine on Vista 32 bit. Had trouble connecting webcam but might have been my fault. Don't expect to put usb hub in another room!!! Box says 30 ft, experience says 6ft through no walls. Might work OK if all items are plugged into the HUB on the same desk as the computer but then what's the point of it being wireless? One cable from a wired hub under the desk would be better than under desk hub with this GIANT usb adaptor. Waste of $.

"Worst product for the price." 2009-11-01
By A. Nakprasert (Los Angeles, CA USA)
I purchased this product wishing that it will work with my Magic Jack so I can keep the phone and fax at its current location and not have to move it near or next to my computer to save money on phone bills. First, the driver and installation CD is worthless. I have Vista 64bit and I kept choosing Vista 64bit installation, nothing, wouldn't let me do it. Picked 34 bit just to see what will happen. Loads, but installation kept failing. Went on line, downloaded directly from the site, ok, install, ok, got it to pair. Disconnected and walked it over to the phone location, no walls in between, about 15-20 feet away, signal dropped right away. Moved it around; no signal. Only when the hub is less than 10 feet away with no obstructions what so ever, then the signal will pick up. What's the point? Secondly, with the averaging price of $55-100, this is the most costly product out there. I was completely stunned by the price I paid and it's lack luster performance in terms of range, forget having to make Magic Jack work with this thing, couldn't even get over the fundamental flaw in this device. If I could only have given it ZERO stars. Stay away! If IOGear wants to charge this much for a wireless USB hub, they should at least make it work better than this.
