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. |

I recently bought one to convert old photos to electronic storage. It requires a cable. No wireless. USB wireless adapter. ------------------------------------- Yup. My bad. I realized that as I was clicking on "send". Understood! |

I recently bought one to convert old photos to electronic storage. It requires a cable. No wireless. I don't see many real advantages of hooking up a flatbed scanner wirelessly if you are using the device in a home office. You still have to place the items to be scanned on the flatbed, which means you don't want the scanner too far away from your computer. Wireless printing is another matter. You wouldn't see a real advantage because you don't have one. |

You don't have a networked scanner on your home server? Running back and fourth to the scanner from the computer is the essence of their exercise regimen. And by the looks of them they don't scan many documents. snerk |

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. |

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. That "wireless USB transmitter/receiver" is the problem. I've seen a wireless USB hub at one of the computer box stores. I suppose you plug a dongle into the printer/scanner/whatever USB port and the USB hub sends and receives signals from a WiFi router. You still have the same problem, though...if the scanner is distant from where you are using your computer, you still have to walk over to the scanner to put your documents on the flatbed. The cabinet my wife wants to stash her new scanner in is about 12' from the back of her computer. I measured it. The new cable will work fine, and no one will notice the cable among the several along the baseboard in her home office. Sometimes less complicated is better. BTW, I love how this thread morphed from a discussion about fuel for home generators to USB devices. It's so very...rec.boats -- I'm a liberal because the militant fundamentalist ignorant science-denying religious xenophobic corporate oligarchy of modern Republican conservatism just doesn't work for me or my country. |

What's complicated about not running cables all over a room? |
