Despite reports to the contrary, Belkin's Network USB Hub, which enables the sharing of up to fifteen USB 2 devices over a wired or wireless network, may not be coming to the Mac after all.

Upon contacting Belkin to find out why the previously promised Mac drivers weren't delivered at the end of September, InsanelyMac received the following response from a Belkin representative:

Dear Sir

Thank you for choosing Belkin.

In regards to your question there is no future plans to make [the Belkin Network USB Hub] Mac compatible


All the Best
Belkin Customer Service


If you believe that this fantastic piece of equipment should be brought to the Mac, have your say here. The device even shares the same dimensions and style as Apple's current AirPort Extreme base station. Come on Belkin, sort it out!

It's a shame only one computer can connect to a USB device at a time. It would have been nice if it allowed dongles to be shared across multiple computers.

This is absolutely false. The Beta driver for the Macintosh is posted here:

Can you tell me which tech support number or email address you contacted for this information? I would like to correct them.

 

Thanks,

This is actually fairly common in the 'tech' industry. One tech is in the dark about something while other techs are fully enlightened. We see it a lot at companies like Garmin. I'm not sure why it happens though. You'd think they would all get the same training. Apparently some are texting their friends in class while others are paying attention to the instructor :P
