That's kind of bizarre. Obviously the computer is recognizing the USB2 device plugged into the hub as being USB2 capable, but is assuming it's plugged into a USB1 or 1.1 port/hub. Upon further investigation, using my keen, razor-sharp mind and detective skills (read as: Google is your friend) it's possible your hub is not truly USB2, only USB2 compliant (see this Wiki link, and read part about SPEED: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_hub). Yet, in online reviews of product (I checked Amazon reviews) most people were satisfied with it, so I guess either nobody cares (it's a cool desktop decoration powered by usb) or no one has any usb2 devices connected to their computers. I'm perplexed!
Andy C p.s. - I have a non-techie friend (getting him to check device manager would probably be too much to explain to him) who has this hub connected to his computer, but I suspect he also just uses it as a usb- powered decoration, rather than have anything plugged into it. Sorry to say it, but congratulations, you might just have bought yourself a cool USB powered paperweight. On Jan 1, 11:26 am, Shag <[email protected]> wrote: > :( I tried all that and no luck.
