Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Network
USB Hub (the Hub) from Belkin. By connecting to your
network router, this innovative sharing tool gives you a great
way to enhance its capabilities, as well as those of all the USB
devices connected throughout your network. It lets you access
your USB devices remotely without the hassle of setting up
network software. Now you can easily print to the USB printer
in your home office from your living room or
bedroom—through any wireless router.

The Hub works with Windows® XP and Windows VistaTM
(32- and 64-bit), and Mac OS® X (v10.3~v10.4). In order to
use the Hub, you must have a networking router connecting
your network.
1. Preparing for Setup
NOTE: If you are connected to a network router that uses
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), which most
networks do, you do not need to set up your Hub.
1.1 Plug the AC adapter into the Hub.
1.2 Check the Power LED (green). It should be illuminated.
1.3 Plug the Ethernet cable into the Hub.
1.4 Plug the other side of the Ethernet cable into your
network router.
2. Installing the Software
IMPORTANT: If you do not install the software on your
computer, the Hub will not work.
2.1 Insert the setup CD into your CD-ROM drive.
You will see the Hub Setup CD icon.
Please open it and click “Setup” icon.
