I bought a Belkin F5L009 wireless usb hub and I can't get my ext harddrive to connect to it?

I can see the hub on my WiFi network but I can not get the extrnal my hard drive to connect to the device. It notes that the drive is connected, but the device but does not connect.

Is there such a thing as a wireless USB hub?

I would like to plug in some USB devices into a hub, and be able to go anywere in my house with a laptop and not have the USB cable conneted to the laptop.

Can you point me to a website or give the name of a device that can do that.


This is a little tricky but I done it before. You can buy the NSLU2 linksys usb network storage link and than connect your usb hub to it. Than you can connect the NSLU2 to your wireless router and than there you go. The NSLU2 will see the USB hub as a hub and you'll be able to see everything connected to that hub.
If it doesn't work you can always return it within like 14 days. But like I said before it is tricky.

5 Things the Next Generation Apple iPad Must Address

Today TechCrunch put out an article asking “ Did the iPad Preemptively Kill the US Tablet Market? ” And I feel compelled to respond with a resounding “I hope not!”

I am the consummate early adopter of technology and already have a Mac Pro and until recently had an iBook laptop (ole trusty finally broke down after 4 years of aggressive use). For quite some time I have loved Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), as both an electronic innovator and a stock.

I had been eagerly anticipating the iPad’s release, as its announcement perfectly coincided with the untimely death of my aforementioned iBook.  In anticipation of the release, I decided to pass on the Barnes and Noble (NYSE: BKS) Nook I had won in a charity poker tournament and even bought the Western Digital My Book World 2 Terrabyte wireless external hard drive as my future data storage hub.

What I expected was a device that could function as a computer itself. Not something to complement my existing computing capacity. No. I wanted a tablet that could do everything that my iBook could do.  When Apple announced the iPad in late January, I was instantly disappointed. My initial impression was that Apple’s goal was to create a pretty awesome tablet, while simultaneously preserving its capacity to upsell new Apple adopters to the Mac line of computers.  Awesome alone didn’t cut it for me.

USB Hub - 2.0, ports, internal hub

Just as you would add a power bar for additional outlets, USB hubs let you to do same except to add more USB ports for peripheral connections. They often come in 2 varieties: 4-port and 7-port USB hubs. Other more advanced USB hubs combine with serial, parallel, Ethernet and maybe USB audio / video output to form a brand-independent laptop docking station.

Installing a USB hub is simply a job of connecting the hub itself, AC adapter and USB cable, but if you already have a mix of Hi-Speed USB and classic USB devices, getting them to coexist could be a challenge. The reason is that two isochronous devices (real-time video & audio) can already saturate the classic speed bus. If you need a couple of different classic USB devices to operate simultaneously, multi-transaction translator USB hubs are crucial as they allocate dedicated 12Mbps bandwidth. Unlike the competitors, Targus USB docking station has a true USB video output that delivers a SVGA at 16-bit color which you can use to expand desktop or to use as a primary display. Tuning down res. will boost depth to 32-bit. Other interesting features include a USB audio in/out adapter; and 2 1,000mA ports for rapid battery charging.   The Belkin TuneSync for iPod features no less than 5 extra USB 2.0 ports in addition to the dock for your iPod. The Belkin charges your iPod or iPod mini while it syncs your tunes. The TuneSync includes a handy stereo-out jack for speakers, stereo or headset. LEDs help you monitor your ports and the unit has overcurrent protection as well.
