Ok, the time is coming where my hardrives, graphics tablet, keyboard, printer ipod etc are dominating my usb ports on my imac - and im using an adapter (this is one thing that should be improved on macs - the amount of usb ports!)
I know that with the apple airport wireless routers I can ahve one usb item plugged into it and access it wirelessly, but I am also aware that I can be a wireless usb hub to plug into my present router?
The computer setup my house hold currently has:
Windows XP computer connected via ethernet to wireless router
Two Windows XP laptops and my Apple iMac connecting wirelessly to the router
two hardrives connected to my iMac I want to have accesbile on the network.
I know I could plug them into my windows computer and access them that way wirelessly but then I ahve to have the windows computer on to access them
Whats the deal with the usb port hubs that I can plug into my current router? OR have I got it wrong?
Thanks all in advance,
Phil Johns
