USB Network Gate 10.0.2450 by Eltima (now often associated with Electronic Team) is widely considered the industry standard for sharing USB devices over networks, including LAN, WAN, and the Internet. Core Functionality The software creates a "virtual" USB connection, allowing a computer to use remote USB peripherals—like scanners, printers, and license dongles—as if they were plugged into a local port. Key Strengths Broad Compatibility: Supports Windows (including Windows 11 and ARM-based PCs), macOS, Linux, and Android. Virtual Environment Support: It is a go-to solution for redirecting USB devices to VMware , VirtualBox , Hyper-V , and Citrix sessions. Strong Security: Features TLS 1.3 encryption for data transfers and optional password authorization to prevent unauthorized access. Reliability: In long-term testing, it remains stable even during high-bandwidth activities like video calls, often outperforming competitors in connection consistency. Version 10.0.2450 Highlights Performance Improvements: This iteration focuses on better data compression to save bandwidth and improve transfer speeds for uncompressed data. RDP Isolation: Allows a user to isolate a shared USB device so only they can see it during a multi-user Remote Desktop session. Considerations Cost: A standard license covers up to 10 devices and is priced around $159 , which may be steep for casual home users but is often cheaper than dedicated hardware adapters. Speed: While fast, speeds are generally slower than a direct physical USB 3.0 connection due to network overhead. Free Version Limits: A free version is available for personal use, but it limits you to sharing one device at a time and requires reconfiguration after connection drops. For official details or to start a trial, you can visit the USB Network Gate product page or check user feedback on G2 . To help you decide if it's the right fit, could you tell me: What specific device are you trying to share (e.g., a printer, a license dongle, or a webcam)? Are you connecting over a local network or across the Internet ? Which operating systems are on your host and client machines? Free USB over Ethernet Sharing Software - Eltima

Title: Works as advertised, but licensing is a bit aggressive Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5) Date: [Insert date] I’ve been using Eltima USB Network Gate for a few weeks now to share a USB license dongle and a scanner between two office PCs over LAN. Version 10.0.2450 runs surprisingly stable on both Windows 11 and an older Windows 10 machine. The good:
Setup is straightforward – install on both server and client, choose the USB device, and share. Latency is very low on a gigabit network. The scanner worked almost like it was locally attached. Multilingual interface is nice for non-English users (tested it in German and French – decent translation). Supports RDP and VM passthrough, which saved me when working remotely.
