Share Printers and Access Your Media Wirelessly with the Belkin Network USB Hub
A 3-Minute Setup Makes the Network USB Hub the Industry’s First Reliable Print Server

COMPTON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Belkin Network USB Hub works with your existing wireless router to give you wireless access to printers, media readers, and external hard drives.

The Hub simulates a direct USB connection that makes your computer think that the devices on the network are directly attached to the computer. Special caching techniques allow for support of high-speed USB devices and isochronous transfers at full speed. The software also allows you to easily transfer control of USB devices on the Hub between computers.
