Summary: 5 Stars
Once installed the Hub came right on line and each of the ports have worked properly without any problems.Digital camera Review: 7-port fails, 4-port by same manufacturer works.
Summary: 1 Stars
I am an amateur astrophotographer since 1994, ham radio operator since 1957, software engineer since 1965 so I know astronomy electronics and software pretty well. I performed MANY tests where I needed to download images from a Canon EOS RebelXT camera. The D-Link 4-port hub that I have works fine. The D-Link 7-port hub that I bought does not properly allow download of the images from the camera. Instead of the full-frame images I get when downloading via the 4-port hub, I get a tiny 20x20 pixel image when using the 7-port hub. Tested this many times with different image download packages (CCDSoft, MaximDL.) Always the same results. The 4-port hub worked and the 7-port hub didn't. I then tried a competitor, the Aluratek 7-port hub. It was even worse. I could not connect to the camera at all. Tried these using both a desktop computer and a notebook computer. Same results.
I am thinking that the electronics for all the 7-port hubs come from the same source and they don't have it right yet?
I solved my problem (I needed 5 ports) by daisy-chaining a 4-port D-Link hub to a 4-port Gigaware hub. The 4-port hubs work fine. Camera images download fine even when the camera is plugged into a port of the second daisy-chained hub.
Digital camera Review: A GREAT LITTLE GADGET

Bought this device about a month ago and it works great.Digital camera Review: A Good Buy
Summary: 5 Stars
So far I've used this product for 3 months without any issues or concerns. Set up is easy....plug and play. The construction of the unit is solid and looks to be of good quality. Even with 7 ports, the foot print of this product still enables me to tuck it just below and behind my monitor for easy access without crowding up my work space or it getting in my way. Having a separate power supply to power this hub is a good feature especially if you are planning to use it for VoIP connections. I recommend this product.
