There's no reason to deal with companies unfriendly to consumers or
companies that overcharge. I needed a new 15' USB A/B cable so I checked
it out at Office Depot. $32.00. Insanity. The same cable through Amazon
was $7.00. I would have paid $10 at Office Depot for convenience of
"instant" delivery into my hand, but more than four times as much? ****
Office Depot. Oh, wait...isn't that a Bain Capital funded company? That
explains the overcharging!

No that was Staples, before the merger.

BTW you are really pushing USB to try to run it out 15'. Better is a
powered extension cable with a repeater.


It's for my wife's new scanner. I have my scanner on a 15' USB cable and
it works just fine. Hers will sit in a cabinet some distance from her
desk and computer. That's where she wants it.

Gee, I love my wireless world.


Do you have a wireless solution for USB devices. I am still looking
for one.


That's easy

Google has failed you my man. That dongle just adds WiFi to a machine
that doesn't have it. This is not a USB repeater that would run a USB
mouse 80 feet away.
I have no problem cloning the monitor and audio of my media machine
all over the house (it is channel 68 on any TV) but no joy on the
pointing device.

Sounds like you need a wireless usb transmitter and reciever hooked up
to a secondary mouse, or a second media machine, or just can the whole idea.

Most of the those USB wireless devices were for "N" band connections.
Most laptops on have "B" and "G" band wireless.


Don't all routers made in the last few years support N band?

The issue is not the routers, it is the computer or device having the
ability to use the N band. I have several computers that only have B/G
wireless. If I wanted to take advantage of the features of N I would
have to go and buy a B/G/N wireless interface to replace the computer's
B/G. If I buy a $29.95 USB Wireless N device I can upgrade any old PC or
laptop to N band.
