usb hub suggestions - so frustarted

(1/2) > >>

tony.silveira:
hi all,

might anyone have a suggestion for a rock solid usb hub?

it seems i go thru a new hub once every couple of months; one of the ports will go out or start acting up.  my current issue has my mini-pac randomly flipping out on me.  out of nowhere it will start sending multiple key presses.  when i unplug the mini-pac from the hub and reattach it, it goes back to normal.

just looking for a solid usb hub as everyone i've had goes on the fritz sooner rather than later.

thanks

Drawing too much power from a USB port maybe ?

Make sure you get a USB 1.1 hub. My mouse devices go mental if I use them in a USB2 hub.

My guess as well.  Perhaps a new power supply is in order?  Personally, I always buy USB hubs that have their own power supply and I've never had an issue with any brand.

I've had good luck with this industrial strength hub:
