At last a hub that works. I've bought five hubs before, some from what appear to be major suppliers of hub's, cables and sundries and I've thrown every one away. This is the first one that has run my web-cam and every other thing I plug into it. It's also the first one to give me the connection speed that the makers claim. Buy one you won't be disappointed.

just plug it in and you are away.
notes
* you must separate your USB devices into fast and slow. In my case fast includes external hard drive and webcam. slow includes mouse and keyboard. Only plug fast or slow devices into your hub. if you mix them, your slow devices will slow down your fast ones.
* it requires its own mains socket for power. (well it would - you can't get power for all 7 devices down the single cable that comes from your computer).

I have a stack of USB devices (mainly panels for my flight simulator) and needed a neat solution to to move away from lots of trailing wires to my computer.
I considered the Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 7 Port Hub as it initially had many favourable reviews. However recently it had got some negative reviews on Amazon. The D-Link had been reviewed in a PC magazine and got high marks.
The dimensions of the D-Link pleasantly surprised me; it's about the size of a chunky mobile phone. It's a powered USB 2.0 compatible hub and the status lights for each port are useful. Good news for me is that it worked straight out of the box with all seven ports used. Definately worth considering as an option. I'll be buying another one.

Got this plugged into primary USB2.0 in the back of my iMac, and it simultaneously runs USB1 for keyboard and mouse, whilst running USB2.0 for my video capture card and memory stick (not all ports at 1.1 as others claim, that might be a W**dows thing!!)
Awesome hub, couldn't do without it.

I've tried a lot of cheapo USB hubs, some OK, some don't work, some work for a bit then get unreliable. I've got a D-link router which has proved to be pretty good so I thought I'd stick with them for this powered hub and so far not disappointed - works really well - no problem. Perhaps not the prettiest bit of kit in the world, but rock solid.
