Synology Virtual USB Hub Driver

The Synology Virtual USB Hub driver helps Windows recognize the virtual USB hub used by compatible Synology software for USB device redirection. It is intended for users who need to access supported USB devices through a Synology setup or resolve a missing-driver entry for the virtual hub in Device Manager.

Key Features

• Virtual USB hub recognition: Provides the Windows driver component needed to identify the Synology Virtual USB Hub.
• USB redirection support: Works alongside compatible Synology software to help make supported remote USB devices available to your PC.
• Support for older Windows systems: Listed operating systems include Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP. Compatibility depends on the specific driver package and system architecture.
• Driver maintenance: Installing a compatible update may help address driver-related connection or recognition problems, though it will not resolve every network or peripheral issue.

How to Install Synology Virtual USB Hub Driver

1. Check your Windows version. Confirm your operating system and whether it uses a 32-bit or 64-bit architecture. If comparing Windows 10/11 compatibility, note that Windows 11 is not included in the listed supported systems; verify support before installing.
2. Choose a compatible package. Before starting your Synology Virtual USB Hub driver download for Windows, review the package details and any requirements for associated Synology software. Select the latest version that explicitly supports your system, rather than assuming the newest release supports every older OS.
3. Download and prepare the files. Use a trusted source for a free download, and check that the package identifies Synology as the vendor. Extract compressed files if necessary and review any included installation instructions.
4. Install the driver. Run the supplied installer if available. For a manual driver package, open Device Manager, locate the virtual hub or corresponding unidentified device, select Update driver, and browse to the extracted driver folder.
5. Restart and test. Restart Windows if prompted, then open the relevant Synology software and test your supported USB device. If recognition fails, check the software configuration, network connection, and driver compatibility.

Keep the driver and associated Synology software updated with compatible releases. Before you update a working installation, review the release notes and retain the previous installer so you have a recovery option if the new version causes problems.
