Buy.com has the Belkin F5L009 5-Port Wireless Network USB Hub for $100 - $20 rebate [Exp 12/31] = $80 with free shipping. Allows you to share up to 5 devices, backup data on external drives, works with existing wireless network. [BizRate]
Read the reviews, this is not wireless, you plug it into a port on a wireless hub and then it does work.
so basically, you are paying for a usb hub, that has a network cable. I don't see how that's worth $80
y do u need a wireless USB Hub as your devices still needs to be Wifi enabled and if so why can't they connect to ur m/c directly with ur PC running a hot spot?

Well, apparently they DO have a "real" wireless device that fits this bill.
#3 - For me this device in the offer still has merit if it does what it is supposed to do. I have a PC in my kitchen, and then all of the peripherals (printers, scanners, etc.) in my office where my router is. In this case, I can now access those devices from my kitchen PC since they will appear on the network now. I'm in on this, but I agree that it is misleading as to whether it is "true" wireless or not.
