Digital camera reviews of D-Link DUB-H7 High Speed USB 2.0 7-Port Hub
Digital camera Review: Awsome
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using the D-Link QuickMedia DUB-H7 7-Port USB 2.0 Hub for several weeks without incident. The instalation was a plug and use situation. The product comes with adiquate documentation in an atractive box and the great looks is an added bonus.Digital camera Review: Backward compatible with USB 1.0 and 1.1???
Summary: 3 Stars
The product is and does what all the descriptions say. Looks good, nice and small etc. etc. It is, of course, backward compatible with USB 1.0 and 1.1, but I got a nasty surprise when I opened the box and read the "Quick Install Guide". Under the "tips" section, they state: "Connecting USB 1.1 devices to the DUB-H7 may cause all USB devices connected to the hub work at USB 1.1 speed. To ensure 480Mbps throughput for your USB 2.0 devices, do not connect USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 devices to the hub at the same time." Maybe this is common knowledge to a computer expert, but to me it wasn't! I have 1.1 and 2.0 devices which I want to connect, and now I have to start unplugging and re-plugging devices constantly? That's why I bought a hub with 7 ports in the first place! If I had known this, I would have bought two 4-port hubs: one for my USB 1.1 devices, and one for my USB 2.0 devices.You can download the Quick install guide I am talking about at Dlink's website: http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=149 and click on "Install Guides" for the PDF format download.
Digital camera Review: Basic Hub!
Summary: 3 Stars
As the title explains, It's just a basic hub, where you plug your USB devices and work.
I don't see the point of the lights, they just stay on all the time, whether a device is connected or not, if one of your devices stop working, you don't really know which is the cable that belongs to it, unless you labeled each and every one of them, I have a couple of hubs that show which port is failing, lights are turned on on working devices only, if a connected device stops working then its light will turn off, I thought this Dlink hub would work the same way.
The USB cable that comes with it is useless, maybe I had bad luck on that one, I had to get another one.
Digital camera Review: Be careful buying this one...
Summary: 1 Stars
Plugged it in, right away I started getting shocked, next came the blue screen at shut down warning about USB Device, Called DLink, couldn't understand them, they couldn't understand me (don't you love OUT-SOURCING), they didn't even know what a hub was, kept asking me which windows I was using. Finally after them asking WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHOCKED? I just told them it was saying vulgar things to me and hung up. Never again, and I bought two of these. ;-(

Digital camera Review: Below atrocious
Summary: 1 Stars
To this day - October 24, 2008 - the D-Link hubs (including this one) will revert all the ports of itself to USB 1.1 when even only a single USB 1.1 device is plugged into it. So your USB 2 speed is gone.
It will not allow itself to be daisy-chained to an exact same model with any stability.
The customer "service" department at D-Link is beneath contempt.
Save your money and your aggravation.
