Is there a product that connects my 7-port USB hub to my 802.11g Router, so I don't have to use a USB cable from my lappy to the hub? The router has 4 - 10/100 Ethernet ports, so I'd want to use one of those.![]()
Doubt that it matters, but my USB hub is a Belkin and the Router is a Linksys.
Thanks,
Hermit

While you're at it, find me a product that connects the router to the monitor, so I don't have to use an Ethernet cable to connect to it and can use the standard VGA cable.

There is no such unit. Wish there was, but not yet. The only thing that could remotely be thought of would be a print server which is way off. Sorry.

Well, what kind of USB devices are you using?
You could use a storage link (connected to the wireless router via wired ethernet) to connect USB drives and memory sticks and make them network-accessable:

Or, Belkin has just announced a new wireless USB hub if you just want to lose some wires:

This is close, the advantage of what I suggested is its more universal, using my existing components. The Belkin hub is a different wireless protocol than 802.11b/g, so I end up with a USB dongle.
Thanks for the post, getting closer.
