Thanks for the information.  I don't think I will try the Belkin 
product.

Did you try any other wireless USB products?

total piece of garbage. Limited range and "line of site". If 
anything interrupts the signal, not only does it stop working but it 
crashes the USB driver that it uses and forces you to reboot. I 
wasted a bunch of time on this piece of crap before giving up. They 
may have improved it but I doubt it. At the time I looked, wireless 
USB chips were just being used and there was a threat that others 
would produce similar devices. I have a general rule about Belkin 
products. Try to find something similar made by anyone else before 
buying Belkin.
