| 1253690 | 2012-01-12 22:43:00 | A puzzle for me. Just received new powered USB hub, was very pleased when it transferred a gig in 25 seconds, but find that when I put 2 USB drives in unit for wireless mouse and keyboard, that they don't work. When anything is plugged in it never shows in my computer, yet if I ask it to transfer a gig to a USB drive it USB drives name, say expansion drive K. It seems to me that it will receive info but not transmit?? Thanks lads I thought I would ask here, with guns b4 getting in touch with suppliers. |

The unit has 7 ports,one input from computer USB port and a power supply from a mains plug. |

| 1253696 | 2012-01-13 00:20:00 | Often you will find if you have a wireless KB / Mouse its better to plug the transmitter directly into the PC. They often give troubles Via a hub, powered or not. I got several external USB drives here which wont work on a Hub and its powered, yet plug then in the front USB ports on the PC and no problems. |

I appreciate the wireless bit, but this transmits nothing, not even info of a USB drive to my computer. To be clear on that point, if I plug a USB drive into to new unit nothing is sent as far as I can see to my computer, yet it will receive perfectly. If you plug one in, it usually comes with a box on options, like I say I get nothing and when I go to computer there in nothing re the said USB drive. |
