    can i connect all my portable hard drive to this homebase server and share it's content with my TV and media player?

  • Twisty on 30/05/2012 - 10:57

    Does anyone know if your computer has to be on when streaming movies from a hard drive thats hooked up to this Home Base?

    I want to stream movies from a external Hard Drive thats hooked up to this home base to my PS3 & BluRay Player but thought it would need a streaming program to work good like Serviio

    I could be wrong, but by updating the title to "Ethernet & WiFi 4 port USB Print/Storage Server" you may get more attention. "Home base server" does not mean much to me, and the WiFi support is worth mentioning in the title.

    • tatasauce on 30/05/2012 - 11:07

      I suppose it's because Home Base is the name of the product.

    Specs Windows XP or Vista 32-/64-bit Mac OS X v10.4 or v10.5
    4xUSB 2.0, 1x 10/100 Ethernet, Wireless N

    Makes not mention of Windows 7 compatibility but assume it would work.

    Also USB 2.0 and wired 100mb would be considered slow these days for backup. Considering gigabit lan and USB 3.0 is now considered the standard.

    Also good to mention this can an also be used as DLNA media server for sharing media from external drives, without the need to have pc turned on as dedicated DLNA server.

    • Rumbaar on 30/05/2012 - 11:38

      I wouldn't assume, support of Windows 7

      From a user review:
      "After 4 attempts got through to Belkin support. I'm sorry it is not supported under Win 7. Would you have a vista machine? Well yes I do; but even if I get it to work on the Vista machine its not going to work on my Win7 box is it? says I. "NO" says the CSR. "Good bye", says I."

    • AncientWisdom on 30/05/2012 - 12:19

      Yes was very interested until I saw USB 2 and 100Mb ethernet… :-(

    Please add the shipping cost to the title !!!

    • Store Reptechbuy aus @ TechBuy on 30/05/2012 - 11:25

      Not enough to include postage guidelines in the post body? Would the details fit in the title, its already really long.

        yea, plus shipping is different everywhere.

        And you can pickup

        • davidl2 on 31/05/2012 - 06:36

          shipping is same $9.90 to everywhere

  • batrarobin on 30/05/2012 - 11:44

    Please tell me what more it can do than a normal gigabit router with an inbuilt media-sharing USB and print server ? I think TP-Link's gigabit routers are cheap these days - come with a USB as well…. I would buy one with an modem inbuilt, which would become a All-in-one device…? Please correct me if I am wrong…

    • Ultraman on 30/05/2012 - 11:51

      Do any come with four USB ports?

    • turbodude on 30/05/2012 - 12:30

      I have a TPLink 1043ND that has a USB port for connecting a USB HDD. It is pretty useless in my opinion as it doesn't support SMB sharing. Transfers are very slow (as with most of these low end devices) and DLNA sharing was never very reliable (lockups etc). I gave up and bought a Microserver N40L which may be overkill for some people.

    • grab_ur_freebies on 30/05/2012 - 12:43

      Does these routers with a usb port support more than one ext. hdd via a usb hub?

      • turbodude on 30/05/2012 - 15:10

        Mine mentioned above does not as far as I know

      • Hessian Sack on 30/05/2012 - 15:13

        Some do. For example:

        "What if you’d like to exchange files over your wireless network and still have access to a wireless printer? Easy. Just connect a USB hub to AirPort Extreme and attach your devices to the hub. Share both a printer and a hard drive, multiple printers, multiple hard drives, or a combination."

  • AlexF on 30/05/2012 - 12:21

    Belkin download site (http://en-au-support.belkin.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3142…) shows only version 1.0.0 of the USB-proxy software, "Home Base Control Center". I don't use first version of any software unless it's free. Fail for me.

  • JimmyBargain on 30/05/2012 - 12:35

    can this be used as a "cheap" Apple Time Capsule? (once i hang a HDD off it)

  • fatice on 30/05/2012 - 12:43

    The deal breaker is the file transfer performance:

    FAT 32 Format
    Write speed (MB/s) 5.7
    Read speed (MB/s) 10.5

    NTFS Format
    Write speed (MB/s) 1.7
    Read speed (MB/s) 7.2

    But it can share my USB scanner/printer wirelessly in the shed while streaming media.

    What media format does it support ? h264, x264, mkv …. ?

    I wonder if this device could be used as a wireless bridge as well (allowing an external device to connect to the LAN port, so that it can connect to a wireless network). Anyone know?

    • quarrymaster on 31/05/2012 - 22:20

      Read a review which mentioned you could only use the Wi-Fi or Ethernet at the one time, not both, so I doubt it. Apparently both ports have the sa,e MAC address.
