I want to use this wirelessly instead of hooking this up to my laptop. How would I accomplish this? What product would I hook the USB to?

This is merely to increase range and signal of the existing wireless/WiFi. In order to operate, it has to be connected to USB port. Since this item has such a long cord, the fact that it is hooked up to your laptop is a non-issue, IMO. I used this to extend the range from house WiFi to a detached garage several hundred feet away. The result was a solid 5 bars, a robust connection, and fast response - hooked up to a laptop with the range extender well away from the laptop.

Not by itself, you will need to buy a wireless network adapter. You can find one for 20 or 30 bucks on amazon, or a walmart, or staples. Just plug it into the usb drive and your all set. I am currently using a Lynksys AE2500.

It comes with built in wifi. So the easiest way would be to purchase a tiny usb bluetooth receiver. This would take up a usb port, but would only stick out of the computer by a few milimeters, far less than other cables you might have attached. That would get the job done.

I don't know of any way to make it work. There is no sub-out connector. You might find a unit to connect to the wireless function, but I don't know one off hand.

If you want to use it's wireless function then you need one of those wireless charger adapter. If not you can just plug in USB charger

I plugged it into a USB port in a pc that did not have wifi capabilities. ..it works great...but I am not sure about your situation

The interface is USB with no LAN or WiFi connection. You could conceivably connect a bunch of stuff to (perhaps) make it work on a network or you could go to Radio Shack and buy a 25 ft USB extension cable. Works great.

I agree with Terry. However it does NOT come with a USB cord. You will need that to hook up to the computer. See answer from Zimu Li good luck. Bob

All power comes through the USB.No, it is not WiFi/wireless. It has to be connected via USB cable to computer.

I personally have not tried that with this device, but I doubt it. The device is designed for printers, your wireless should be set up for usb connection.

Contact Iogear. You should be able to get the USB receiver you need from them.

No. You have the option to use the USB cable directly or you can configure it for wireless. You can choose either option.

I am trying to get connection for this printer. It did not come with a USB cord and I don't see how to connect to my computer "wirelessly". Any info on what the "little deal" is, would be much appreciated.....

It won't plug directly into your laptop. You'll need a type of converter. To be honest I'm very disappointed with this wireless system...get something else.
