Customer ReviewsReviewed on 2008-07-11      Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 7-Port Hub F5U237v1 Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 7-Port Hub F5U237v1
Product does not work. Did not receive paperwork to send item back |  | Reviewed on 2008-06-26      X cellent This is my second, I like how they stack! This design is very cool and convenient. The two ports on top make it easy to plug an iPod and card reader in as needed - without reaching behind. Plus the two topside are spaced farther apart than other design, which helps with devices other than cables. Performs very fast as well. |  | Reviewed on 2008-06-07      No Stars Although we own another hub of the same make and model that works fine, the one I ordered through Amazon was defective. Most of the time the hub would not function. This was indicated by data not flowing through the hub, nor did the indicator lights in front go on.
We returned it. |  | Reviewed on 2008-06-03      Unreliable My wife was complaining about here wi-fi going down, and her keyboard and mouse not working. Sometimes sleep didn't work. I booted into Linux to do a virus scan, and Linux informed me that one of the usb hubs on the system was malfunctioning. I popped of the Belkin stacking hub, and everything was fine.
I used Belkin for years in my job for custom cables, and they were fine. But just about every piece of consumer computing equipment I've bought from them has been unreliable, this device included. For that reason, I'm steering clear of them for a few years. This might be my bad luck, so if you really want this hub, fine, go ahead; but if mysterious problems happen with your computer, it's probably worthwhile suspecting this hub. Actually its worthwhile suspecting any USB peripherals, because it's usually easy to unplug em and see if the problems go away. |  | Reviewed on 2008-05-11      LIMITED DEVICE Fails and Overheats but STILL USEFUL Quick notes on my experiences--
Best advice is to use this as a hub for self-powered devices ONLY. As in only plug in USB devices with their own independent power supplies. It works very well as a High-Speed USB 2.0 hub, but it fails miserably as a power supply for dependent hardware. I have two of these; models F5U237 v1 and v3.
SUCCESSES:
Low-draw and self-powered devices: I have a 9x12 Wacom tablet, Logitech mouse, Kensington trackball, Epson Scanner, Nikon Scanner, HP Printer, and a self-powered CD burner plugged in simultaneously with no problems.
FAILURES:
This hub can't properly operate several 5-volt (USB2.0 maximum draw) devices at once. It's hit or miss. You can't plug in a couple portable hard drives and an iPod at the same time, you will eventually get an "unknown device" error and the hub may overheat and/or stop responding.
Frequently fails to recognize my iPod 5G at all.
Causes occasional "write delay failure" errors on self-powered portable hard drives and flash drives.
Can't reliably run a QuickCam Orbit with any other devices plugged in, may cause a complete failure to boot in XP or Vista.
HUB FAILS as "UNKNOWN DEVICE"
If this happens you can move the hub to another USB port. Once you run out of USB ports you have to go into [ControlPanel/System/Hardware/Device Manager/Universal Serial Bus Controllers] and uninstall the unknown device and several occurrences of "USB Root Hub" which may not appear to be broken. This might disable your USB mouse so if you can run a PS/2 mouse do that, or do this via a remote session.
Generally I avoid Belkin. These were on sale.
