IOGear 4-Port USB Sharing Station takes USB peripherals wireless (Digital Trends)

Digital Trends - The technology world is literally littered with USB peripherals: tens of thousands of printers, scanners, cameras, hard drives, speakers, video cameras, memory card readers and more all sport USB ports. Of course, while many printers and multi-function devices often come with built-in Wi-Fi these days, versions with Wi-Fi often cost more, and enormous numbers of USB peripherals offer no wireless option. IOGear aims to help solve that with its new 4-Port USB Sharing Station. The device looks like a Wi-Fi router, and sports both Wi-Fi and Ethernet (100Base-T) connectivity, along with four USB 2.0 ports for peripherals. Pop the USB Sharing Station onto your network, then plug your USB peripherals into the Sharing Station—and suddenly you can connect to your USB peripherals from anywhere in Wi-Fi range. And the peripherals aren’t available to just one computer: any user on the network can access them as well.
