Review on πŸ”Œ IOGEAR Universal 5-Port Wi-Fi N Ethernet Hub GWU647 (Black): Enhanced Connectivity and Networking Experience by Nick Mcvey

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works, but oh my god!

Plugged this thing in, pressed the WPS button on my DSL modem/wireless router, pressed the WPS button on IOGear and nothing! What the installation guide didn't say, what I found out after calling IOGear is to hold the button for 5-10 seconds to activate it; but it still didn't work for me. So I plugged it into my computer, added the wireless SSID manually and was able to get it working. Overall it works fine, just a hassle to run lol. Update: After a few weeks of use, I have to restart it (unplug and plug back in) every time I want to stream music from my computer, ugh. I have no idea what's going on with this block. Update: The switch from DSL to cable broadband and setup was a breeze this time. Connected to the modem immediately, but I had to press the wps button on the hub for 60 seconds for it to see my network. 1 star increased.
