Coolgear CoolGear USB 2.0 Over IP Network 4-Port Hub, Share any USB Device Over TCP/IP Network

I have other usb Over IP Network ( NOT COOLGEAR ) and zero problem. Once I connected the Coolgear device i keep getting Blue screen of death. I returned immediately within 2 days and informed the seller that the device didn't work. the seller only refund a partial refund. Plan on reaching out to amazon tomorrow. Not acceptable when the product doesn't work. **** DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER **** check out the FAQ - It has happened to others as well.

will work in windows 7, but crashes in windows 10+11, manufacture suggests setting compatibility mode but that does not work.

I have other USB hubs from CoolGear and they are great. Pricey but great industrial strength hubs. In this case this device has not worked out for me. My goal was to use this with several USB devices for example USB to RS-232 adapters. And also some higher end USB cameras. Unfortunately in my case I have not been successful using any make/model USB to RS-232 adaptor (and the manufacturer states these devices are not supported). Nor have my cameras worked either. Often times I get a the BSOD (Blue screen of death) trying to connect to this device. Simply put this product is not for me! However, it works great with memory sticks, USB thumb drives, I have to assume USB printers too. But, outside of anything but basic USB devices like these I have found it doesn't foot the bill for me. I was surprised out how few of the devices I tried would actual work but I am not your average or normal user either. Again the company puts out great products for the most part so this is not a reflection on them in anyway. Just this particular product was far too limited for my applications.

Allows you to have USB support from your virtual machines (I run VMware ESXi Hypervisor), from anywhere in your home network. So in other words, if your hypervisor machine is buried in your basement, you can have this unit up in your office, and have devices like scanners, printers, flash drives etc, plugged in at your desk and access your VM over remote desktop on your laptop to make it seem like that pc is right next to you.

This product does not support USB Plug and Play. USB drivers have to be manually installed before the USB device can be used. Not all USB devices are supported. This product has almost no support. Not many people know how to manually install a USB driver, so this product will probably not be commercially viable. There is not a list of USB devices that are supported and are not supported. Even if you know how to manually install a USB driver, your USB device may or may not be supported, and if it is not supported, you are out of luck, because this product has little or no support.
