Is setup handled by connecting via USB to computer? Once setup is complete, can you disconnect from computer and power it via typical outlet to USB?

Setup works exactly as any other router/access point. Via LAN or WiFi interface. USB is only used for power.

Setup is handled by the network connection. Typically you just browse to the ip address listed on the back of the device. The USB is for power only.

Just power. To nearest outlet. Ethernet connection not required. You tube will have videos to help with set up.

I tricks the computer in thinking that it is still USB connected. I takes a minute or so, to auto-connect to the printer when printing. I uses an IP address to talk to the Print Server I assigned 50 to mine. I have a HP all-in-one and it works great.

This unit is USB powered, does not need to be plugged to an electric outlet. The computer this device it connected to will power the unit using the USB cable.

Completely powered via USB. Has a double USB cable to plug into two USB ports should your computer not supply enough power. Works like a champ.

You have to plug it into the USB port on your computer for the power; but it just hooks over the top of your monitor and sits there... no fuss...

Powered by USB, whether off laptop, desktop, or direct plug with a USB port. I love it!

It has to get it from the USB because there is no other power supply directly going into it, why is this question even being asked?

I'm not the seller, sorry. I'd suggest looking up some installation guides because it can be a little tricky I had to buy a powered USB hub when I got mine.

Not from what I hear. To do so, you'd needto partially dismantle the computer and manually hook it up yourself.

A power supply is not needed. Just plug in the 2 usb plugs to your computer. Power comes from the usb connections. If you don't have 2 usb connectors, try Radio Shack or Best Buy to match the plug needed.

I use the switch connected to a multi port USB hub. I have my printer, scanner, Wacom graphics tablet, a flash drive (USB) and a 3Tb drive all plugged in. I move from one computer to the next, never have to reboot to switch access from my PC and laptop. I used a bead of silicone adhesive around the base to adhere it to the desk. Not slick, but a $9.00 tool that does everything I have wanted it to do.

Yes everything is plug and play; there is no soldering involved but you need a screw driver. You only need to open the enclosure, insert a SATA drive and connect to the enclosure. The power source comes from an external power supply which comes with the enclosure. To connect to a computer you can use either USB 2.0 or eSATA cable, also plug and play. If you decide to use eSATA, do yourself a favor and order a eSATA cable because the one that came with the enclosure didn't work for me.

No, you need the USB. But if you have something that could connect the USB to a outlet you can go that.

You switch the USB cord around and then plug it into your computers USB port. I was confused at first too. Lol

Yes, either by the AC outlot that you need to purchase or by USB cord from a PC.They recommend that you use an AC outlet that has at least 1.5 amps capability, and prefer 2 amps. (NOTE that this is higher capacity than the standard USB chager outlets.)
