Printer and external hard drive, other hardware, componenets
I have a printer that's not wirless enabled, an external hard drive, and a few other devices that I'd like to be able to access from my laptop, but wirelessly. Short of buying a wireless printer and a wireless enabled external hard drive, what are my options? Basically I just want to remove all (probably around five or six) the USB cords and hubs running in and out of my laptop.
Also, what kind of security measures am I going to want to put in place, besides the WEP key on the router and the firewall for the laptop, to secure data moving back and forth between these devices and my laptop?

You'll need a wireless USB hub like this: http://www.iogear.com/product/GUWH104KIT/
Use wpa instead of wep when you have it setup, wep gives you slower file transfer speeds
