I've run out of ports on my Hub 1.
I'm looking at a USB powered network switch.
Does anyone know if the USB port on the Hub 1 can power such a device.
Fixed! Go to the fix.

The answer to your question is no it can't. It's designed to interface with memory devices.
If you need more Ethernet ports then you need to add a switch. This is an example: https://www.amazon.co.uk/NETGEAR-GS205-100UKS-Gigabit-Ethernet-Desktop/dp/B00AYRZYG4/ref=sr_1_1_sspa...
This will use one of your router ports but give you an additional four from the switch.

I've already got a switch lined up - just wanted to know if I need to make sure I have a spare plug near the router so I can power it.
Thanks
