Hello jcsdkx51,
If both USB hard drives and Hub is powered on separately then I think there will be no problem connecting it to the NAS. If your issue is now resolved, we encourage you to mark the appropriate reply as the “Accept as Solution” or post what resolved it and mark it as solution so others can be confident in benefiting from the solution.
The Netgear community looks forward to hearing from you and being a helpful resource in the future!

Re: USB 3.0 Hub for RN102
Hello jcsdkx51,
Netgear does not have any documentation about usb hubs however there are forum thread that says it did actually work but it is a different unit/model, you may refer to this forum thread. I would also recommend to consider the specifications of the NAS, The RN102 is one of our entry level NAS which may not the resources to power the usb hubs and usb drives.

The drives should certainly be powered. If the hub can be externally powered, then you probably should do that also.

Powered Hub worked like a champ. Have three devices plugged in and no issues reading any. Thanks!
