Today I've bought one powered USB Hub that I was hoping to solve my low number of USB ports. It has 10 ports but when I connect anything on it (my phone, my external hard disk, flash disk, etc.) it doesn't recognize it. All of them are working conected directly. No unknown device under Device manager when I have only hub conected so the drivers are up and running. My windows is 7 32b no SP.
Can someone gimme a hand abt this? Thanks!

USB hubs are notoriously unreliable. There is a good chance that the hub is defective.
