IOGear 4-port Net Station Not Waiting for Wireless USB

IOGear stuck its toes in the water a few months back with its single port Share Station and finding the waters 'just right' decided to jump in with both feet. The 4 Port Share Station improves on the former model and adds 3 more ports and a few more features to the mix. Both Share Stations allow for USB sharing over Ethernet. Plug in up to USB devices into the Share Station and plug in an RJ-45 Ethernet cable from your network into its auto-sensing 10/100Base-T port and you are ready to go.

Most printers are detected and identified automatically with its built in print server functionality. Not just for printers, the USB hub will connect hard drives, flash drives, web cameras and USB speaker systems. On top of all the peripheral options, the Share Station is perfectly comfortable being plugged into a wireless network as well. Some caution is added for high bandwidth applications that might be susceptible to latency common to wireless applications. Few USB drivers or applications are written with the expectation of the rugged terrain of wireless networking. With options like these continuing to pop up, WUSB standards may have a very hard time getting a foothold with all of its promised functionality available in devices like these.
