new to wireless
 

i am usually resourceful about computers but the wireless stuff has me a little
baffled. my whole system is virtually runs through a usb hub, printer,
scanner, memory card reader, palm pilot, external hard drive, external modem,
zip drive, and i want to be able to have my laptop (at home) access these while
at home without being connected to the hub. i have read a few products, but
they always leave asking whether it will really work the way i want it, or
envision it.

looking for basic info or links to products that do this.

thanks

andrew

You can dump the hub and get a wire/wireless AP router. Also at the top
of the link, it discusses other networking topics including wireless.

You should also search Google on wireless security in the home.
