Product box claims "WIRELESS ACCESS" to peripherals, with reference that no wireless router is included. Another description on the box says "Compatible with all notebook computers equipped with WLAN or LAN".

Whilst it is clear that this product is not a wireless router with usb ports, and it works with notebooks equipped with WLAN, its description is misleading:

THIS PRODUCT DOES NEITHER PROVIDE NOR ENABLE WIRELESS ACCESS to peripherals, because it must be connected to by ETHERNET your network.

 

Therefore, if you happen to have a wireless router with no spare ethernet connection (ie. Apple Airport Express), this product requires additional hardware to make it work. Go back to the store!

 

(Product description on this Web site says this product is "a 802.11n wireless USB hub". IT IS NOT A WIRELESS USB HUB. It is a DHCP-enabled network USB hub.)
