I intend to buy my house and have usb network adapters in each room.
Apart from
So far all I kind find is Lantronix UBox 2100
Is there anything cheeper i.e single usb port?

How come you want USB adapters in every room?

Hawkest · 2nd Apr 2011, 08:15

Same as deders, why?

tehBoris · 2nd Apr 2011, 11:53

Agreed, I can see little point in this.

AJB2K3 · 2nd Apr 2011, 12:02

Because I have devices in each room ! that can't be put in the same place.

tehBoris · 2nd Apr 2011, 12:09

Can't you locate the devices in one room then access them via the network?

AJB2K3 · 2nd Apr 2011, 15:01

there isn't the space. The pcs are laptops, the modem is in a different room, the printer in another, Camera and Kindle in yet another, and storage in hidden in another.
as there no desk/office its easer to use network nodes spread around the house.

For storage you would be better off getting a device that is specifically intended for it, same with the printer (would be surprised if you couldn't get a box that would do both). Though you will need to check compatibility with the printer.

Plug the kindle in to the laptop, same for the camera if it's a digital still camera.

USB over network is quite expensive

your looking £200-300 for hubs

USB1.1 is very cheap though can get adapters for £15
