iogear-net-sharestation.jpgEver wish you could add a USB printer to your office network? How about a USB hard drive? Maybe even a scanner or webcam? Iogear’s USB Net ShareStation lets you connect just about any USB device to your router, making it available to all users on the network.

Although the little gizmo has just one USB port, you can actually connect up to four devices by adding a USB 2.0 hub. (Iogear conveniently sells them.) It promises compatibility with everything from flash drives to memory-card readers to multifunction printers, meaning you can share just about any USB device with multiple users.

That could save you from having to buy duplicate equipment. If so, it should more than justify the USB Net ShareStation’s $79.95 list price. Handy little gadget! [via Gizmodo]
