Always use the correct power adapter for your devices. Doing otherwise can and might just break or short out your device.

Technically speaking that will not likely provide enough power to run a USB hub. Each of the USB ports on a powered hub must be capable of providing up to 500ma of power. So usually you'll see a 5volt 2amp or something akin to that. Many electronics store will sell a variable output power supply which allows you to set the plug and power rating on the supply to fit your needs. The hub/device will USUALLY have a list of the input power required.

Hope that helps!
