I probably should have asked before I bought the hub, but...
Has anyone tried to connect two TIUs to one WIU using a USB Hub? I plan to address both TIUs as "#1". The plan is to set the WIU to a MTH network.
If no one has tried it, I guess I'll be the first and will post my results here.

SPOILER ALERT: It won't work...
Thanks for the reply. So, this is to assume it has been tried, and failed. It was a $4 shot in the dark.
It was asked a long time ago and for $4, I too would try it again to to make sure!!
FWIW I would not try it with a router. My thought about a hub is if the interface is dumb enough, it just may work.
What I do know is a DCS remote will communicate with two "TIU #1" at the same time. Since packets in a hub are broadcast to all ports, the thought that was both TIUs would respond concurrently.
Lets see what my $4 Chinese 4 port USB hub (with free shipping) does. It will be here next week. Worse case I toss it in my computer bag.
I was successful in powering two TIUs with one Z500. I had not heard of that being tried before.
