Is there such a thing as a wireless USB Hub? If so, who makes them? Thanks.

do you mean a wireless usb reciever or an actual wireless usb router. If its the later then i cant think of any,nor why you would want on. Are you trying to connect a usb modem to a router

What are you trying to acheive , maybe there is a better way.

i think he wants a usb hub that doesnt have to be attached to his computer..
like it would be usefull if you had a laptop that u want your usb mouse and usb keyboard(that you leave on your home desk) to be connected as soon as u boot your comp up on your home desk and u wanna leave your keyboard and mouse there w/o connecting/disconnecting wires everytime that youload your laptop on your desk..
but ive never saw one anywhere..

Dan's on the right track. I'm looking to set up a webcam for monitoring my dogs and was looking to see what my options are. I have a ton of webcams and if there were such a thing as a wireless hub then I wouldn't have to buy another one. As long as we're on the subject... Would a wireless B cam work with a wireless G router?

I think bluetooth is basically what you're looking for. I don't beleive there are addaptors to make things wireless, but I have seen some camera's that connected to your computer by bluetooth, PDAs, cellphones, etc...

Anyway, yes, wireless B/G are interchangeable.

You can also buy webcams that hook up to your network, so all you have to do is type in the ip address of the webcame (ex. 192.168.0.3) and you will see it. Although these are a bit expensive, but they have wired and wireless ones.
