I recently purchased the Belkin Network USB Hub (F5L009) and have hooked it up to my wireless network. I have a multi-function printer and an external Maxtor OneTouch 4 hard drive attached to it. Most of the time the printer works, though the scanning feature is iffy for unknown reasons from time to time. The bigger issue, however, is the Maxtor hard drive. It is consistently giving me problems. Sometimes my computer(s) will not connect to it whatsoever. Sometimes it will continually disconnect and reconnect. And once, somehow, the drive became corrupted for no reason at all (I didn't add any files to it), and the computer couldn't even see the drive when directly connected. This all started when I hooked it up to this device. I need to know why this is happening, but I can't seem to find anyone posting about this device in junction with an external hard drive, and Belkin doesn't even have support forums on their site.
