Belkin Network USB Hub: Mobile Innovation Award Winner 2007

Only a few routers include a USB port for adding a printer, storage drive, or other device to your network. So why not fool your network into thinking everyday peripherals are wireless? That’s the idea behind the Belkin Network USB Hub ($129). It connects over Ethernet and provides five USB ports for connecting a printer, an iPod dock, a digital camera, or any other USB device. If you want to access that inkjet but someone else in the family is in the middle of a print job, you can send a quick permission request.
