Is a WIRELESS router available that has four (or more) USB ports (for 2 laser printers, hp g4050 scanner, 2TB backup drive)? These peripherals are in great shape and are very useful. I don't want to spend more $ to get wireless replacements.Thank you in advance for your help sir. I've been following your site off & on for more than 10 years. I have recommended your site to my grandson (11th grade) who is building a gaming PC.

I will look into the Hawking router you are suggesting at Newegg. It has 4 USB ports.
Thank you sir.

I bought the Hawking router from the factory last night $65 total. 4 USB 2.0 ports.

26DEC13 - TO EMERALD: Wow! The Hawking Technology HMPS2U works perfectly and it is compact. (It is a server - not a router - I learned something new.) I never heard of Hawking Technology until now - good company. You provided me with a complete solution in just several hours after I posted. I've been wanting to convert my wired printers, scanner, 2TB Seagate backup drive to wireless for years without spending big $ and you quickly guided me in the right direction. TOMSHARDWARE.COM is a valuable, fantastic website. 100 million thanks to EMERALD and Toms Hardware.com.

The Hawking Tech HMPS2U print server satisfied my needs for wirelessly connecting my wired USB peripherals. I'm very appreciative of that. The Downside: the ports are 2.0, the software is 32-bit as far as I can determine (that's what Task Manager says), the HP Scanjet G4050 scanner and Seagate FreeAgent Desk 2TB External Drive can only manually connect (the two Samsung Laser printers I have do autoconnect). That said - with ALL peripherals going wireless today, probably its too much to expect a good print server like the Hawking HMPS2U to come along anytime soon upgraded with USB 3.0, EVERTHING autoconnect, and 64-bit software. I believe it ain't gunna happen.
