I described the IOGEAR MediaShair Hub as the “Mobile Swiss Army Knife” when I reviewed it a few weeks ago. I was impressed by the device and surprised that it is available for under $60 [Affiliate Link] here on Amazon. The ideal multi-functional device for travelers, our review sample is up for grabs. Check them out here on Facebook.So what CAN the IOGEAR MediaShair Hub do?
This little unit can…
- Stream movies, music, photos and documents to 7 devices.
- Take a wired internet connection and create a Wi-Fi network to which you can connect your devices.
- Transfer data from your flash media to your computer. (This is especially helpful if your laptop doesn’t have an SD card reader.)
- Access your flash drive and effectively becomes an external hard drive connection
- Double as a Wi-Fi repeater and extend the connection to existing Wi-Fi networks
- Functions as a portable battery for charging USB devices
And while it offers up to 9 hours of streaming media it also comes with a cigarette lighter charger so you can use it AND charge it on the road.

The portable streamer function really appeals to me. My wife loves her little Sandisk Connect stick.
Streaming media to devices is the most useful function for me, since I have things that can do most of the other functions, though it’s convenient to have everything in one device.
The WiFI Extension would be nice for Home and even Travel.
Streaming would also be nice.
The most useful function for me is the travel router function. Too many times I have lousy WiFi coverage in the hotel room and being able to plug into the wired connection and get a good WIFi signal would great. And when I get charged for internet access, I could use the MediaShair Hub as a WiFi Hotspot and get access for all of my device for the price of one.
multiple connections streaming video would be awesome!
I’d imagine the streaming media feature would be of most value to me. A central repository for video, photos, and music in an easily portable device would be fabulous.
I would like to be able to transfer flash data to my computer.
I would use it to Stream Mickey mouse club house and use it as repeater.I use a VOIP phone.
I love the idea of streaming movies on up to 7 devices!
I also love the wifi repeater feature, along with the extra usb charging connections. This sounds like a super device!!!
