D-Link wireless USB hub
D-Link has unveiled its first wireless USB hub, the DUB-9240. It connects to a Windows PC through a bundled USB dongle, and provides connections for as many as four extra USB devices; full 2.0 speeds are assured up to a distance of 30 feet. The 9240 is unique in that it operates at frequencies of 3.4 and 4.5GHz, preventing interference with standard Wi-Fi receivers, which tend to operate at 2.4GHz. D-Link anticipates a release of the hub by the end of the fourth quarter of 2007; pricing should be approximately $120, and it will require Windows Vista or XP SP2. [via Gearlog]
