Network USB Devices
I need to get my external hard disks and my multifunction printer off my desk. I have a mac. I have a multi-function printer. I have 3 external hard disks. I scan lots of things. I print stuff. I run time machine. Help me move my USB peripherals to the other side of the room. I tried the Airport Extreme. Scanning functions don't work.
I've tried the Belkin Network USB Hub. Completely sucked. Froze my computer 3-4 times a DAY.
What are my options? Haven't tried wireless USB, but I'm considering it. The Belkin Network USB Hub is the perfect option - too bad it doesn't work at all. Anyone know of alternatives?
Requirements: I must be able to print. I must be able to scan. I must be able to run time machine automatically. Ideally, I'd like to plug a USB hub into my magical networking device and plug any USB device into it for access from my mac.
I have a wireless network and hot network ports available in both locations (at the computer and the area where I'd like to move the printer/drives to).
