Question 1

Is there any way to make this work with a playstation 4? It is connected via wifi.

Accepted Answer

This product doesn't work well at all.  I would not recommend buying it.  I had lots of trouble making and maintaining a connection on Windows and I highly doubt PS4 has drivers for it.

Question 2

Does this item connect by only ethenet? or Can connect by wireless?

Accepted Answer

You have to have an existing WI Fi router.  Each computer on the network has to have the software installed (win 10 online).  After that, you can access usb drives and printers with strong usb protocols wirelessly that are plugged into the sharing station. Those usb devices without strong usb protocols won't work.  Those would have to be installed on the device ( like a laptop).  It appears you have to start the software on each device but it may be possible to start it when you start your computer (via msconfig).

Question 3

Will this divice work with a Verizon Jetpack 4G LTE?

Accepted Answer

I can't tell you if it will work with a Jetpack, but the item did not work as I'd hoped in my application. The drivers are extremely finicky. I have tested it on the recommended applications, like a printer, and it was OK.

I was trying to do something off the book with it. My application was to  try and use it as a USB link that would take HD music (24 bit, 196kbps) content to a DAC. While the system should carry that bandwith, it was never able to properly recognize the DAC across the link.

So my comment is try at your own risk, and be philosophical at failure. There are just no solid generic solutions out there to replace a USB cable with wireless at a reasonable cost and that will work exactly like a physical cable.

Question 4

Is this device's functionality limited for sharing media files? Can I connect a USB game controller via this device ?

Accepted Answer

You should be able to use this device with a game controller.  We use the item at work connected to a USB Oscilloscope.  It workseems great.

Question 5

will this work with windows 8.1?

Accepted Answer

yes

Question 6

Will this work with an older HPA6655F which does not automatically pickup external wifi?

Accepted Answer

By HPA6655F I am assuming you mean a computer.  This device requires a router and will not connect directly to a computer.  It is set up and is networked using the router and the USB devices connected to it can then be accessed as if they were connected directly to a PC via a USB port.  Any computer or device with wireless can access the USB devices connected to this through the router.
