10 Appendix – Operation/Compatibility Notes
Certain USB devices may not be compatible with the Hub.
Since the Network USB Hub uses virtual network technology, some USB
devices (e.g., TV tuners, webcams, USB audio devices) may not be compatible
with it. You may see a warning message like the one illustrated below.
WLAN connection
The Network USB Hub’s virtual network technology may not work properly if the WLAN
connection is interrupted. If you have problems with the Network USB Hub or connected
USB devices, please make sure that your WLAN connection is strong and stable.
The Network USB Hub can support up to 15 connections
Virtual network technology limits the number of devices
the Hub can support to 16 total connections.
(IMPORTANT: One connection does not equal one device; some devices
involve more than one connection. For instance, a multifunction
printer is typically comprised of four connections.)
