Frequently Asked Questions - DS116 NETGEAR

Is the Netgear DS116 compatible with USB 2.0 devices?

Yes, the hub is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices, but they will operate at their maximum speed (480 Mbps for USB 2.0).

Does the DS116 require an external power supply?

Yes, because it has 16 ports, an external power adapter (12V, 3A) is required to provide enough power for all connected devices.

What operating systems are supported?

The hub supports Windows (7, 8, 10, 11), Mac OS X (10.6 and later), and Linux (kernel 2.6 and later). No driver installation is needed.

Can I charge my smartphone through the hub?

Yes, the data ports can charge devices, but charging speed depends on the device and port. Dedicated charging ports are not specified; for best results, use a wall charger.

What is the maximum data transfer speed?

The hub supports USB 3.0 with a maximum data transfer rate of 5 Gbps. Actual speeds may vary depending on the connected device.

How do I know if a device is connected properly?

Each port has a LED indicator that lights up when a device is connected and active. A solid light indicates connection, and blinking indicates data transfer.

Is the hub hot-swappable?

Yes, the DS116 supports hot swapping, meaning you can connect and disconnect devices without turning off the hub or computer.

What should I do if the hub is not detected by my computer?

First, ensure the power adapter is connected and the LED is on. Try a different USB cable or port on your computer. If still not detected, restart your computer or check for driver updates.

Can I use the hub with a USB extension cable?

Using a quality USB 3.0 extension cable up to 3 meters is possible, but longer cables may cause signal degradation. For best performance, keep the hub close to the computer.

How to clean the Netgear DS116?

Unplug the hub and use a soft, dry cloth to clean the surface. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners. Ensure ports are free of dust.
