Review: Remote network USB device server with hidden depths. - You want a powered usb output located by a remote usb connected device. By remote I mean that computer is in one room and the USB connected device is in another and your partner does not like cables snaking through halls and doors. As long as you have a wired network connection between your rooms then the Silex works a treat. Follow the easy to read diagrams packed with the unit and its up and running on my Windows10 and Mac OS straight away. Now I am a bit weird. I develop electronic bits and bobs and I hate having my expensive laptop plugged directly into a bit of development hardware and software that I am putting through it's paces, as often some of the voltages on my circuits can be at house mains voltage, a breadboard of wires can easily short over. So my Laptop is wireless connected to the house network and the Silex USB server port is connected to the USB programming device plugged into the breadboard of wires. The Silex unit, is right next to the laptop but I have an air gap between the dangerous breadboard. The only downside I have is, I would like to air gap the Silex unit from my network cables, so a wireless network connected Silex unit would be awesome. I have plans to do this with a unit from desertcart, but if Silex or any one wants to offer a total solution for me to try, I would love to take them up on it. If any one has a similar Bluetooth to USB server solution I would like to know about that as well.
Review: It's a niche product, so I had low expectations - does exactly what I need (virtual server access to USB) - Very glad I found this product. I don't believe it's the USB3 version, but I didn't need high data transfer rates. Spent a bit more than I'd hoped, but still cheaper than many poorly reviewed devices from e.g. Startech or other manufacturers. So we're winning here. No CD in the box (good, who has CD ROM drives these days?!) but within a matter of minutes I had managed to (a) find the website to download the software, (b) find the download link on the website*, (c) install the software, (d) actually connect to the USB device. I was pleasantly surprised. Given this is a relatively niche device, I thought it would be a bit more painful. I was also pleasantly surprised to see a *sensible* looking options dialog in Windows, with "start automatically with Windows". Haven't actually tested whether this means "at user login" or whether it runs the software as a service (really hope it's the latter, I suspect it won't be) but at least you can opt for automatic startup. There is also an option to automatically connect to devices, or - I guess - approve them first. Even if this doesn't run as a service automatically (I can't find an entry in services and haven't actually rebooted my server yet), I may try to use NSSM (google it) to achieve this. When you launch the software, there are no annoying hoops to jump through. It automatically scans your IP network and detects the device. By the time I had loaded the software, looked away from the screen, and looked back - the name of my USB device was showing. Hit connect, and it's as if you have plugged the device into the USB port. In my case, I'm using it to solve two problems at the same time: 1/ I wanted to connect my RF Transmitter to a virtual server (Hyper-V in my case) 2/ I wanted to locate the physical server elsewhere and still have the RF Transmitter nearby. It has two ports. I assume it would be possible to connect your own USB hub and add even more devices - not sure. To be honest it exactly fits my needs hence I'm giving it 5 stars.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you connect a USB hub to use 8-10 devices simultaneously or is it restricted to the two devices that are plugged in directly?**
A: Yes, you can connect a USB hub to it. We are using it in exactly that way ourselves. I

**Q: Is this the equivalent of connecting a printer directly to a computer? via a nas i am unable to see printer info like ink level on an ip9000 mk2**
A: I am not sure about this as we have 2 Dymo thermal label printers attached which don't need to send info like ink levels. I would suggest the way to find out is to purchase it, test it and if it doesn't work you have always got the option to return it. Sorry but this is the best I can come up with. It is however a nice bit of kit and works very well in our setup.

**Q: Does this come with an external power supply?**
A: Yes it comes with an external PSU, the PSU has both EU and UK mains socket adaptor, you can use either depending on your region.

**Q: does this have to be on the same network as my computer**
A: Ours was and it worked fine. Not sure if you would be able to access it from another network though.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good device to connect up older USB cabled printers into a network
*by C***K on 21 January 2021*

Software downloaded but no intructions about which of the several executable files to run - suggest this should be included in the instruction leaflet. Trial and error but got there in the end. Device works well BUT the "app" needs to be running continuously, i.e. don't be tempted to close it- just minimise. Suggest add this to the instructions. If device is to be shared by multiple users, each must have the software installed- add to instructions When shared by multiple users, the printers have to be "reassigned" by the last person who used them. E.g. if I use printer A and person X now wants to use it, they have to open the software, click on the printer and then wait for me to give permission for person X to use the printer. Bit clunky but it works.
