In this video I take a hands-on look at the XiiAozet USB 3.0 Network Server (USB device server) and walk through what it actually takes to get it running on a real network. I start with a quick overview of what it is and why you’d want one—basically, it lets you put USB devices on your LAN so you can access them over the network instead of being physically plugged into one PC. Then I move straight into setup for testing, because that’s where these things usually either shine or get annoying. From there I install the XiiAozet software and run the controller application so you can see the workflow end-to-end. The practical test in this review is a label printer, since printers are one of the most common reasons people look at USB-over-IP boxes in the first place. I wrap up with my overall impressions after the test so you can decide if this is the right tool for your home lab, small office, or DIY network build—especially if you’re trying to centralize gear and keep your setup clean.
