Many devices are becoming flatter and have sometimes no or only very delicate network connections. USB ports have the equipment but very comfortable. This 3 Hub network adapter can be remedied. The hub just plug in the USB port of the terminal. In Windows 8 and 8.1 of the network adapter by plug-and-play is recognized immediately, a driver installation is not necessary. For older versions of Windows, a CD is that I have not needed. It is nice that a multilingual user manual enclosed, which is detailed and easy to understand and also responds to problems. Although supported by the device, a USB port, operators receive male terminals, which is for devices which have little connections, already a lot of value. However, it should be noted that one should not connect his entire hard drive fleet at once although now enough connections are there, because then makes the power supply limp. But in the manual also is exactly what is happening. For me even 2 SSD who works gleichzeigtig. However, as expected the Obergerenze lie. The unit fits into a USB 2 port, but then brings even the power of a USB 2 - port. However, it is still sufficient for Gigabit Ethernet.
The device can also communicate. It has three small LED: one for on / off (red), a Gigabit Ethernet (green) and normal Ethernet (yellow)
The connecting cable is incidentally about 30 cm long, so you still have a little freedom of movement.
The only drawback: The housing of the Hub is very easy compared to the relatively rigid and heavy cord. It can thus be transported though good, but tilts by from and to.
