Belkin Home Base
$130.00
Released September, 2009
The Pros:Integrated wireless N - fastest wireless standard. Turns less expensive / older / less complex components such as standard USB printers and external drives into more powerful networked devices. Saves power, time and angst - no need for online PC hosts for shared printers and drives.
The Cons:Not gigabit - potentially slow for use as a NAS. Designed for casual consumer use - probably cannot handle heavy loads. High price.
The Belkin Home Base is a wireless USB hub built for connecting and accessing up to 4 portable hard drives, printers, or cameras over a preexisting local area network. It includes 4 USB 2.0 ports, an Ethernet (100BaseTx) port, and integrated 802.11b/g/n wireless with push-button WPS security.

Signature to the Home Base is its myriad of convenience-related features, including automatic backups to relieve the worry of sudden data loss; automatic picture uploading to Flickr or Picasa; and the ability to setup an external hard drive to act as a DLNA server for media content. After an HD has been established as a DLNA server, users can access their media files directly from a Playstation 3, Xbox 360, or any other DLNA-compatible client device.
