Networking USB 2.0 Server

Hardwired PC peripherals can be difficult to share from one computer to the next. Fiddling around with hard-drive file sharing or printer network sharing can be a hassle. Now you can bypass the complication and access your USB devices directly through your network. Plug this device into your router with the supplied Cat5 cable then plug in a USB powered product and computers will be able to see and use your USB gadgets from any computer. Connecting to a wireless router will provide wireless access to USB for those who can't run any Cat5 in the home or office network. Ideal for printers, scanners, or for access to your external hard drives.

  • Share 1 USB device through your home or office network
  • Share an external hard drive, flash drive, printer, scanner, webcam
  • Supports USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices
  • Supports Windows Vista Rally technology
  • Supports Windows 2000/XP/Vista
  • Dimensions: 52(W) x 25(H) x 53(D)mm

    Only good if multiple usb devices can be attached simultaneously to share.

    i wonder if xbox's xmbc will be able to see the USB harddrive plugged into one of these device.

    • jasonc on 08/05/2009 - 14:57

      i think you need to run software to see it - doesn't appear to provide samba sharing capabilities

      • spodosaurus on 08/05/2009 - 20:28

        That's what I was thinking - there're a lot of pseudo network sharing devices that require you to install software on every PC that may want to use it. That said, for home use that's acceptable. If it can handle scanners, even better.

      I seriously doubt it. Definitely do your homework before buying.

    • young_dazza on 08/05/2009 - 19:31

      dupe, sorry

  • fatice on 08/05/2009 - 16:25

    I wonder what will happen if I plug an USB hub with multiple USB devices on it.

    • sweetasjazz on 08/05/2009 - 22:35

      Unfortunately it does not work on multiple devices. Only the first USB device is picked up and can be used.

  • skinny on 08/05/2009 - 18:00

    Hi Citysoftware, do you know if I could connect my Samsung MultiFunction Printer on this? do you have a list of qualified printers?

  • skinny on 08/05/2009 - 19:50

    I am not sure if this is the same one - certainly looks much better from the specs:
