Belkin F5L009 5-Port Wireless Network USB Hub

Reason for Existence

About.com Rating fourhalf out of Five

From Gregory Go, for About.com

Belkin F5L009 connectors on back. Two more USB ports are in front.

You connect USB devices -- like a multi-function printer, external hard drives, digital camera, media reader, scanner, etc -- to this hub. The hub connects to your home network. It can connect wirelessly or via an ethernet cable.

The hub allows you to share these USB devices with any computer on the network.

Problem It Solves

You have many USB devices you would like to use with multiple computers. You could have a dedicated computer be on all the time and act as a device server for the other computers, but that means you need to have a dedicated computer.

Some USB devices that might be shared:

  • standalone or multi-function printer
  • digital camera
  • external hard drive
  • scanner
  • DVD burner

Reviews by Others

Carol Santel - 4/5 stars. "I bought this as a network hub for our small office's color printer. Set-up was very fast and I didn't run into any problems."
