4 Port USB 2.0 Over IP Network Device Sharing Hub w/Screw-Locking Ports & Status LEDs

I have other usb Over IP Network ( NOT COOLGEAR ) and zero problem. Once I connected the Coolgear device i keep getting Blue screen of death. I returned immediately within 2 days and informed the seller that the device didn't work. the seller only refund a partial refund. Plan on reaching out to amazon tomorrow. Not acceptable when the product doesn't work. **** DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER ****check out the FAQ - It has happened to others as well.

I have other USB hubs from CoolGear and they are great. Pricey but great industrial strength hubs. In this case this device has not worked out for me. My goal was to use this with several USB devices for example USB to RS-232 adapters. And also some higher end USB cameras. Unfortunately in my case I have not been successful using any make/model USB to RS-232 adaptor (and the manufacturer states these devices are not supported). Nor have my cameras worked either. Often times I get a the BSOD (Blue screen of death) trying to connect to this device. Simply put this product is not for me!However, it works great with memory sticks, USB thumb drives, I have to assume USB printers too. But, outside of anything but basic USB devices like these I have found it doesn't foot the bill for me. I was surprised out how few of the devices I tried would actual work but I am not your average or normal user either.Again the company puts out great products for the most part so this is not a reflection on them in anyway. Just this particular product was far too limited for my applications.

Allows you to have USB support from your virtual machines (I run VMware ESXi Hypervisor), from anywhere in your home network.So in other words, if your hypervisor machine is buried in your basement, you can have this unit up in your office, and have devices like scanners, printers, flash drives etc, plugged in at your desk and access your VM over remote desktop on your laptop to make it seem like that pc is right next to you.

This product does not support USB Plug and Play. USB drivers have to be manually installed before the USB device can be used.Not all USB devices are supported. This product has almost no support. Not many people know how to manually install a USB driver, so this product will probably not be commercially viable. There is not a list of USB devices that are supported and are not supported. Even if you know how to manually install a USB driver, your USB device may or may not be supported, and if it is not supported, you are out of luck, because this product has little or no support.

First, it does do what it says, and provides USB ports across a network. However, the drivers were written for Windows 7 and haven't been updated to modern standards. They'll work in compatibility mode, for the most part, but the drivers are really the Achilles heel of the device.Under Windows 11, I could not get the drivers to stabilize, even in compatibility mode, so I tried virtualizing a Windows 7 instance just to drive the USB devices. That worked fine, but I immediately ran into the problem that Windows 7 was abandoned years ago and virtually everything else would refuse to run. I concluded that a Raspberry PI running VirtualHere was cheaper and more stable.

Bought this. it worked for about a month. Then, there was a windows update and when this device is used, it causes the Blue Screen of Death. Tried multiple times to ask vendor for software fix. Nothing. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!

When it works, it works well, hence giving 2 stars. Streaming audio from a VM under Hyper-V just fine, as the old Digi USB 1.1 USB-Over-IP box I had just couldn't cope with the throughput. However, the drivers for this device are dreadful. Expect daily crashes for no apparent reason, and almost always crashes when unplugging a device. Cannot find any online drivers which are newer. Running Windows 7 32-bit. If the drivers were stable, this would get 5 stars.Driver version as came with mini-CD in the box: "Nu (Network USB) USB Server Version 0.0.4.9.rev 8 July-13-2011. PSM DLL Version 2.0.5.2 December-08-2008. Copyright 2011 USB Server. [...]"-----After writing the review above, I did some more searching. It seems there are later drivers and firmware available if you know where to look. [...] Looks like you need the E2868/E3868 firmware, which as of writing, latest was 2.055, 14th June 2012. The unit was shipped with firmware version 2.032. The latest Windows 7 32-bit update (Referred to as WHQL 11.1027.0050 on that site) moved up to USB Server Version 0.0.4.9.rev.17 April 09 2012. PSM DLL Version 2.0.5.3, December 8-2008 (same date as 2.0.5.2....!). There are also beta WIndows 8 drivers available. Can't comment on how much more stable this will be yet...

The intent was to connect a USB microscope up to the server. The device might have been able to perform that function, however the instructions and the installation CD do not jive. To top that off there is LITTLE to NO SUPPORT available from the seller of the manufacturer. When I finally found a number to call for the company it took two weeks to get someone to answer the phone (in sunny Clearwater Florida) and referred back to the same useless website as the auto attendant. Four days later, apparently, a ten year responded with gibberish. – Run Forest run. Returned.
