Greetings mh180005,

Belkin was the only one that had a wireless USB hub a year ago. If anyone else had one, I would have tried it first. Belkin is the Walmart of computer accessories. I do plan to search for a better device as it has been a year and maybe there is something else now. If anyone knows of one, please let the group know.
