Pros: none for me
Cons: line of sight required, more software running to make this work, connectivity drops out, big thumb drive crashes it
The sales product literature never indicated it needed line of sight to work. If it did, I certainly didn't understand it. I put the USB key into my PC, and the receiving hub by my printer. I put the printer USB cable into the hub, and did get some prints done. It required the key and hub to be in line of sight. I stuck a thumb drive (2gb) in the hub, and locked up my entire system. It would read a small thumb (250mb). Every reboot it seemed to lose the hub connection, and I had to screw around to resync. It is in a cabinet now, I have no need of it, but figured return wasn't an option. Much easier to just buy an ethernet ready printer. I don't have time for crashes and reboots, so I'll stick with direct insertion of the thumb drives in the tower.
