Will this device work like a hub? Meaning if I have two Laptops connected to it via wifi can they find either on the network?

It should, as long as you have Verizon service. Check the details on this jetpack. It should say how many devices it will support. I used it for more than 1 device.

Actually what Im trying to figure out is how to actually connect to that wifi connection. HOw do I hook up to it with my PC? Or do I actually need something to plug into my laptop that picks up the signal. Im not sure if the tiny laptop I have will automatically pick up a wifi signal if there is one in the area, or If I have to buy some kind of device to hook up to it. And if I need a device, I wouldnt even begin to know what Im looking for.

No - I tried this. It will act as a wireless bridge, but it only appears to bridge between another device over wi-fi, not through ethernet. I suspect they did not want to put in the extra effort to convert packets from ethernet to wi-fi and back.

If you're laptop can connect to wireless N network then no. If you're device can only connect to a B or G wireless network then I would look for a wireless access point that supports that.

Ok it has 2 usb plugs that need to be plugged in at the same time? If this is so will having a usb hub running usb3 work (my hub has the duo like plug side by side on one plug)

It may work through a powered USB 3 hub. I tried to use it with a USB extension cable when I first got it and it did not work, so now I have it directly connected to my laptop and it works perfectly.

a good chance you will need a powered usb hub, but otherwise, yes it should. I've not found a laptop usb that can power it without the hub. However, the powered usb hub I have will power it, but only if the hub is not plugged in!!???!! Yeah, but expect some trial and error... good luck

You sure can. Connect a cable from your wall connection to the hub then, connect each of your computers to the hub. It will work just fine.

That's what it's designed to so. Just connect it to your wifi network and plug it in to the other computer and off you go. I you only need to connect one computer there are other, smaller options such as wireless network adapters which connect via USB but this will also work and can support multiple devices.

I would assume so. This device is essentially acting like a switch on the network. Once its connected, anything you plug into it should pull an address from the DHCP service. Although if they're already accessible wirelessly, why buy this?

I'm not exactly sure.....here is my setup: 1 - laptop native display 1 - hdmi out FROM laptop 1 - hdmi out FROM this universal hub although from their picture - looks like they have 2 monitors connected to the hub (1 is hdmi, the other might be the DVI port)

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).

In short, no. USB as a protocol supports far more devices through a single port than you can physically put on this hub. And, because of how the data is packaged and transmitted, it all moves at the same speed, regardless of the number of sources. For example, I have 3 devices (a wireless mouse, a printer and an external HardDrive) running through mine, and they all perform perfectly.

Sorry but no, this unit will only connect to the network via a wireless connection. The LAN ports on the unit are access ports for clients not network ports.

It's only got 1 Ethernet port. With that said, I've been considering attaching a hub to it to connect more and I can't think of a reason it wouldn't work.

this does not however their wifi access points do. You can use this to manage routing and if you needed to create a virtual LAN and use their Unifi access point which have captive portal. (unless you needed it for wired connection then you have to look at another device)This device can do a lot - it is like another computer so eventually Ubiquiti might be able to integrate it.

Yes, you have to connect this hub with a power adapter. The power from the usb port of your laptop will not be enough to power the hub.
