What brand hubs are used?

The hubs are non-branded but are a loose-ball & cone style hub. This wheel is most likely of better quality than the majority of 27" wheels that were put on bikes back in the day.

Yeah, any brand is fine. The one included is labeled Kidde for branding only, but Duracell or Energizer or other 9V can be used.

Grant manufactures hubs to fit many applications. I re-used the hub that was in my factory steering wheel; this required cutting the hub out of the factory wheel and welding it into the new Grant wheel.

Thanks to all. I also meant to inquire as to whether a powered hub would be better than the one noted. But based on these comments, I'll go with this more affordable hub. Thanks again.

I am uncertain about piggy backing. Each one has a standard USB device side connection and comes with a cable. I suspect that they could be daisy chained or piggy backed but I don't know for certain. The hub is a backbone that each slides into. I would check if I was at the location where I have the hub but I am not.

I don't know. I would suppose so if it is a USB connectivity as it does have a USB port...which you can extend with a hub if needed.

This will probably work, but I do not recommend getting this hub. This hub broke after being used only 3 times over a 2 week span, even though I treated it gently. I would recommending getting this instead Connectland CL-U2MNHUB-4B 4 Ports USB V2.0 Mini Hub (Black)

This item isn't a hub it is a switch and is used differently. Example... You run a long cat5 cable to your media room. You now have 1 connection, but you have 4 items to connect to the internet. So, you buy this switch. connect it to your 1 cable run and now you have 4 ports that can all use that 1 run of cat5.

You don't need drivers for hub. I have tested with Linux, Windows, Mac OSx.

If you are buying only one switch, the hub is not needed. However, if you plan on having multiple smart devices, the hub keeps it all in one place. Otherwise, you'd have 5 apps running 5 devices rather than one app running all of your devices. Also, some devices, like my door knob do not have an associated app so you need the hub to operate it remotely.

I haven't tried to use it in a hub at all, mine is directly into the machines. It works great that way. I now have three machine and will probably look for a 4 port just like this one. It is so simple and easy.. It covers the speakers, mic, keybd, mouse and monitor (HDMI).

You can use any brand of router. It is the collar and template which come with the jig that are important.

I've never tried it with a hub. But, I have used it with an extension without any issues.

The hub shouldn't need a driver, could it be something plugged into the Hub it's not recognizing?

Not possible with any hub I know of. You need a chain or belt-driven drive train to use a multi-speed hub.

Reliance controls LL550C or similar. I would spend the money for a Hubbel. It's worth it. It won't crack when you drop it.

Yes, I'm using it with one now. But it will need two USB ports (unless you buy the power supply), and a hub won't work. You need a card or the original ports.
