Network/USB Hubs and AExtremeBS

Does anyone have suggestions on a network-usb hub to sue with Apple Extreme BS? I'm considering Iomega iconnect and Belkin Network USB Hub... and others...
Cheers

oops... dyslexic moment I guess.

WRT54GS and Belkin Network USB Hub

My Linksys router works fine. I'm hard wired in with a desktop computer. I have a Belkin Network USB Hub that will not work with the router. The router appears to be blocking the USB hub. If I plug the hub directly into my computer, then it will work. I have reset the router to factory setting and I still cannot see the hub. I can not find anyone that has problems with installation of the hub. How can I use the hub with my router?

The Hub I refer to connects to a router. The USB hub does not expand the number of USB devices I can use on my single computer. The hub is used to share USB devices across the network. I would like to share my printer, scanner, and external hard drive with all my computers in my house. The hub uses an Ethernet cord to connect to the router. My issue is the hub does not work when I connect it directly to the router. If I connect the hub to my computer with an Ethernet cable, then the connected USB devices show up in the loaded Belkin software (and work fine). Once I connect the hub to the router through an Ethernet cable, the computers on the network can not see any of the USB devices. This is why I assume the router is "blocking" the the network USB device. Everyone says how easy the hub is to setup. Just plug it in. I must be missing something. Belkin tech support said to contact my router support.

Print server belkin network USB Hub (F5L009)

I just bough a Belkin network USB Hub print server and downloaded from their website the mac 10.4 compatible software (their is no 10.5 yet), when I want to open the application I get this error message: _SXUPTP Driver has not been installed, please reinstall the application._
I called Belkin and they said that they were not using this driver and that it was a Mac issue so I call Mac and they said it's a Belkin issue. How do I fix that error? Please Help!
Thanks

I agree! Like I said, I've been using it for a couple of weeks with NO problems - but I was on 10.4 (Belkin posted the beta Mac driver just a couple of weeks ago). This is the ONLY item that didn't work flawlessly after upgrading. Unfortunately, the Belkin customer support is almost non-existent...in fact, their reply to me was via a posting on a web page (thereby eliminating the possibility of me seeing a Belkin email address to which I could then reply to).
However - I will also say that for the two weeks that it worked with my Mac - it worked perfectly! For now, though, it's back to being a gateway for my wife and kids assorted XP machines.

Wireless iPod syncing - Belkin Network USB Hub F5L009

I stumbled across a nifty gadget today, but I'm having some issues and would like some help. The Belkin Network USB Hub is a thin black box about the same dimensions as my Airport Extreme base station and pulls a nifty trick: when attached to the router via Ethernet, the hub tricks your computer into thinking the attached USB devices are actually plugged into your computer.
My purpose for this purchase was wireless syncing of my iPods and iPhone. Since Apple seems to have some kind of vendetta against people doing this, I wasn't expecting it to work. But it did - for my old iPod mini. The iPod Touch and iPhone 3G showed up fine in the Belkin utility, but iTunes will not recognize them.
I'm still waiting on Belkin tech support. My hub is showing driver ver 1.3.0, although Belkin's support page seems to think ver 1.5.0 was included in the driver package they have posted out there. Only thing is the Silex kext in the package doesn't seem to match up. Frustrating!
Anywho, I figured someone out here might have an answer. Anyone run into this issue/know how to get the iTouch/iPhone to show up in iTunes + sync?
Thanks!

UPDATE: LETTER FROM BELKIN
"Dear mr XXXX,
We are already addressing some issues about the performance and stability of storage drives via Mac OS 10.5.6. Issues with drives disappearing or not being detected at all have been reported by one or two other users, replicated here and passed on to the developers for them to fix in a later version of the software. Unfortunately however I have no information about when the new software should be available. This does mean that for the moment there is no fix for this issue I`m afraid.
best regards

So hold off from buying this if you have 10.5.6!!

Belkin Network USB Hub not working with new BT Rou...

Hi,
I received my new hub to use with Infinity when they turn it on in a few days time.
I connected the new router to the ADSL and all works perfectly without any set up needed.
I installed (on my old 'sheep-dip' PC) the BT software, and now this test PC will not connect to any USB hard-drives or Printers connected to my Belkin Network USB hub.
The Network USB hub works fine with all the other PCs in the house - but not if I install the BT software.
(Which appears to be mainly adverts and a link for those too dim to type BT.com in a browser... ;o)
I am guessing that this may be something to do with the software blocking use of the new BT Router using its own USB socket as a Network USB link - as this is being saved for 'future product enhancements'. Is there anyway of curing this and still having the BT software on this machine?
Thanks!

Is this issue likely to go away when the Infinity service starts? - I am guessing not?

I can't print wirelessly using Airport Express. I have my HP printer connected to a USB hub, and the hub to the Airport Express, but when I select the HP from the printer list, my MacBook says the printer is "off-line" - even when it is not.

I can't print wirelessly using Airport Express. I have my HP printer connected to a USB hub, and the hub to the Airport Express, but when I select the HP from the printer list, my MacBook says the printer is "off-line" - even when it is not. I've tried several USB connectors, and several different ports on my USB hub; same result. I need to have the HP connected to the hub 'cause from there it's connected to our desktop Mac.

Hi,
I am currently replying to this as it shows in the iChat Community.
I have asked the Hosts to move it to Snow Leopard (you should not lose contact with it through any email links you get)
I also don't do Wirelss printing so I can't actaully help either.

USB Hub and FireWires Configuration

How can I identify if my USB hub and FireWires are the authentic configuration? I have 2 hubs connected and am not sure what the configuration is like from Apple and whether someone is connected to my iMac.

Nobody could connect to your USB or Firewire without a cable, only way some could connect to your Mac would be with a cable, or Wifi/Arport to your computer or router.

USB hub and internet sharing stop working after sleep

Hi,
I have a relatively new Bluestork USB hub I purchased to connect multiple USB devices I have at the same time. It used to work correctly under Leopard, but now it stops working each time the computer wakes up from sleep. I have to restart the computer for it to start working again. Both link and power LEDs stay on, even when the hub is not recognized.
My second problem is related to internet sharing. It stops working after each sleep/wakeup cycle and the only way to make it work again is to restart the computer. It used to work correctly before Snow Leopard as well.
I have all the Mac updates installed.

Thanks Barry.
The hub is on its way to the manufacturer for after sales service...
But the issue with AirPort remains the same, even after resetting SMC.
Some clarification:
* It happens just after computer wakes up from sleep. Restarting solves the problem and the issue doesn't arise until computer goes standby again.
* The whole WiFi card becomes unresponsive. It is not only the Turn Off button, but the whole functionality is stopped. The card can not be activated/deactivated and it doesn't connect to any network. If it is used for internet sharing, clients are unable to connect.

Airport Extreme w/Powered USB Hub and External Disk Drive Win 7

Hello,
I have an Airport Extreme device setup with a Belkin powered USB hub in the USB port. I am using the
hub to network a USB printer and an external hard drive. I established a wireless home network
for Windows 7 PCs. I am able to print to the printer from all clients on the network. However, the clients
cannot see the hard disk even though it displays in the Airport Utility > Disks. I have selected
"Share over Ethernet WAN port" in the configuration. Can you tell me what I am missing in order to make this drive
accessible and usable to the clients on the network?
Thank you in advance.

The base station can't read or share a drive formatted to NTFS.

AirPort & USB Hub and Two Printers?

The AP Exp. manual says I can print to multiple printers connected via a USB hub. However, I have a Brother Laser Printer and an HP Inkjet printer. When I connect either directly to the AP Exp. they are instantly recognized and installed and I can print to each one directly.
However, when I connect the hub and attach both printers to it, the only printer recognized is the HP Inkjet. When I switch them on the USB ports (i.e. 1&2), the result is the same. Even if I unplug the HP, the Brother is still not recognized as the only printer connected to the hub.
What could be causing this?

Nope. According to Apple the specifically recommend it: per the following Tech note:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1487
"AirPort Express Base Station with 802.11n
Single powered USB printer directly into the USB port, or several printers to the base station via a powered USB hub"
Either way, it wouldn't explain why only the HP printer shows up when connected via the hub.

Airport Extreme, Belkin USB Hub, and external hard drive

I'm having a serious meltdown. I've been at this all day long and I've reviewed SEVERAL, if not all, discussion threads. I've seen my question many times on many threads, but yet to find a solution!
Just got the hub, and I tried today to connect the Belkin USB hub so I could get my external hard drive accessible from my Mac. My external drive worked fine on my PC. I recently moved to Mac.
Printer works with no issue at all, but my external drive does not even list in either the Disk Utility or System Profiler. It just doesn't get recognized. I've tried EVERYTHING...switching ports, connecting directly to my Macbook, restarting, etc., etc., etc. NOTHING.
Anyone have any insight to this? I'm ready to throw in the towel.

Ok I'll try that! Uh oh...now I can't even see the external drive on my PC! I also spent some time looking at the manufacturer's website to see if there's any software I may have downloaded before using the hard drive, but the website is not helpful in that capacity (www.cavalrystorage.com). I don't remember having software when I first started using it. Furthermore, I just looked at paperwork I received when I got the drive back in Nov.06 and it says not to use "the CD if you have Windows", (to install a driver, perhaps?) which of course, I did. But now I can't find what disc I may have gotten with the drive. It also had no specific instructions for a Mac. Although the external drive has wonderful reviews, and says you can use it with a PC or Mac. I hope this helps. I certainly appreciate your help!
I'm starting to think something has gone awry with the external hard drive? I've tried connecting through the hub (my printer works at least!), direct to AirPort, and direct to laptop and nothing.

USB Hub and Devices

Wondering if anyone can help me out. This has been an issue with all my macs and all my hubs and usb external devices for years......
I always have to unplug then plug back in certain devices for my computer to see them. I now own a new belkin hub that whenever it sits for a bit (An hour or two) and I go to use something connected to it (Flash Card Reader, Ipod Shuffle doc) it seems like i gotta unplug then plug the hub back in to get it going again.
I would appreciate any suggestions.

If you connect these devices directly without the hub does the problem persist? If not then the problem is with the hub. Contact the manufacturer's tech support for assistance or try a different hub. If the hub can be powered separately then use the separate power supply rather than drawing power from the port. iPods should be connected directly to the port and not through a hub.

USB Hubs and WMS 2011

Hi All,
I wonder if someone can advise me please/
I am trying to configure a promethean IWB in windows multipoint 2011.
Now the system lets me install IWB drivers and also sees the Promethean board and the Board is interactiv
however when i either switch from maintenance mode to user mode the IWB stops working and audio disappears.
this also happens during a Pc reboot and the IWB stops working.
Do USB Hubs Sleep, could this be the cause?

I know you posted this a few months ago but I'm afraid it's not going to work for you.
When in maintenance mode the host is acting a single user machine and will function as you expect any single use win7 machine etc.... once you switch to normal mode the multi user mode comes in to play and only certain devices will be able to be used such
as usb hubs, usb memory sticks, usb audio devices.
Not even scanners work when in normal mode which is a pain.
Ben
Hi Ben,
My name is Gino, from the Philippines. I am currently working on the same project as a community service to the less-privileged elementary students here. I too have the same problem with the promethean board connected to the multipoint server 2011.
Any updates, thanks

Usb hub and ethernet adapter

I have not been able to get the usb hub to work with more than one usb device. Has anyone had any luck getting it to work with say the usb ethernet hub and a hard drive?

Is the USB hub self powered?
I'm experiencing a similar problem with a Belkin 4 USB powered hub.
It will allow only 3 USB peripherals to be connected at the same time.
It's not a problem with one of the USB ports on the hub, because I can switch the devices and only 3 will be connected.
And since this hub is self powered, I believe there's a limitation on the MBA side.
Basically, I've connected 2 USB HD (Time Machine & a SuperDuper Backup), and 2 printers, and at any time only 3 will work.

AEx N, usb hub and printer

Hi,
So I have an airport extreme n, a USB hub that connects a hp printer and an external hard drive. What I have noticed is that when I use the hub, I can't use the printer. The airport utility doesn't see it. When I plug the printer directly in the AEx's USB, it works just fine.
I'm running Leopard.
Has anybody else experienced this problem?

I have the complete opposite problem. I can print just fine when my printer is plugged into my USB hub plugged into my AEX. But if I plug my printer USB directly into my AEX, then it does not see it at all. It only works with the HUB. I'd like to have less wires on my desk, but I'm forced to use the hub. It's the only thing plugged into the HUB.
I've tried resetting the AEX and reconfiguring things, rebooting things, everything, but the AEX just doesn't see my HP printer unless it's plugged into my USB hub. I don't even have the power plugged into the hub. So it's nothing to do with USB power.
Maybe I should trade my AEX with doc_rkp's AEX and we would be set.
