Disklavier

Greetings mh180005,

I tried the Belkin Wireless Hub when it first came out. It is a total piece of garbage. Limited range and "line of site". If anything interrupts the signal, not only does it stop working but it crashes the USB driver that it uses and forces you to reboot. I wasted a bunch of time on this piece of crap before giving up. They may have improved it but I doubt it. At the time I looked, wireless USB chips were just being used and there was a threat that others would produce similar devices. I have a general rule about Belkin products. Try to find something similar made by anyone else before buying Belkin.
