| 850299 | 2010-01-20 22:56:00 | Using a 4 port USB hub - can you use the 4 ports on the hub at once or just one at a time? | Chris Randal (521) | ||
| 850300 | 2010-01-20 22:58:00 | Depends. Is it a powered hub? | Sweep (90) | ||
| 850301 | 2010-01-20 23:03:00 | Altho hubs dont work with everything | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 850302 | 2010-01-21 00:06:00 | Usually you can, just depending on whats being run from them. Powered hubs will be better than non powered hubs. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 850303 | 2010-01-21 03:32:00 | Sometimes if you try to install the device through a hub Windows gets confused. Install it plugged in by itself, then plug them all back into the hub. SHould be fine then. |

| 850305 | 2010-01-21 12:27:00 | I'm running XP and have a 7 port hub. I've never had any prob's at all regardless of what I have plugged in at the time. I've never needed all 7 ports at once but have an Epson Clr printer and a 1Tb ext drive all the time with 1 or 2 flash drives intermittently. I guess the max number of ports I've used at any one time would be 5 - 6. It's a powered hub and the ext drive and printer are both self powered. You shouldn't have too much trouble but safer if it's a powered unit. cheers |
