It's a hub communicating at USB2.0 speeds.
To know if you have USB2.0 hardware / software:
In Window XP:"Right click my computer, then "manage", select device manager and scroll down to USB controllers. Click the + then look for the word "Enhanced" in either of the host controller listed. If there's 1 with Enhanced, then you have USB2.0 capable hardware.
See the related link for more info about USB1.1 and USB2.0
The Generic USB Hub is a HI-SPEED USB device and will function at reduced speed when plugged into a non-HI-SPEED port
Yes you can, but the USB 3.0 hub will only work at the speed of the USB 2.0 port.
Get a high speed hub.
Make sure that the hub is actually a USB 2.0 hub, and that it is receiving full power.
No. The root hub (the port on your computer) determines the maximum speed of all devices. If you plug a 2.0 hub into a 1.1 port, it will operate at 1.1 speeds. To gain a faster speed, you should install a USB 2.0 controller card.
FRONT PANEL USB 2.0 HUB (front usb 2.0): Easy front connection for high speed USB devices, e.g. external HardDisc and DVD-RW.
USB version 1.1( sometimes called Basic speed USB or Orginal USB) allows for two speesd,1.5 Mbps and 12 Mbps. USB version 2.0 (sometimes called hi-speed USB or USB2) allows for up to 480Mbps.
Its a high quality multi TT hub with a transistor per USB port, Instead of one shared by the entire hub.
That depends on the type of device you actually want. Many new USB devices these days support USB 2.0. It should say on the package whether or not it supports USB 2.0.
Unfortunately there is no solution for such situation; the reason why you get this message is the different protocols of your MP3 player and your PC. I guess your MP3 player uses USB port to connect and communicate with PC, am I right? Try to install the latest drivers for your PC's USB ports and for your MP3 player. You can try to use high speed "USB hub" (with USB 2.0) to connect your MP3 player to your PC, you will have MP3 will be connected to USB Hub will be connected to tour PC.
A Hub's speed is determined by it's type. Are you speaking of a networking hub (also called a bridge)? Or do you mean a USB Hub? Or a Firewire hub? All of these have different speeds. Most commonly would probably be a network hub, which is commonly limited to 10/100 mb Ethernet speeds. A USB Hub, if 2.0 is limited to 480mb/s over all it's ports. Hope that helps!
