Belkin Home Base – a single solution for print server, USB storage with automatic backup and share wirelessly, automatically share pictures on Flickr® and Picasa®
If you have a wireless network environment in home or in small office with more than one / two computers connect to the network, usually you would like to have all the devices (such as printer, external hard drive, digital camera) available for every computer and are accessible wirelessly for portability reason. If you would like to share your USB printer wirelessly, you need to buy a USB wireless print server. If you would like to share the external storage, you need to attach it into the USB port of the computer and configure it for sharing – and the computer must be on all the time. Or you can attach the USB storage into your wireless router only if the router supports USB port. The more practical and easier solution is Belkin Home Base.
With Belkin Home Base, you don’t need to purchase separate wireless USB print server to share your USB printer, and you don’t need to buy USB wireless HUB to share your external USB storage. Not just that, the following lists the valuable features of this single home base solution:
