What do I need to share usb peripherals on a wireless network?

Hi all,

Apologies if this is not the right place to post. I am looking to wirelessly share several USB printers, a USB embroidery machine, and a USB cutter/plotter.

I found this (link below) on amazon, but the reviews make me question whether or not it's what I want. Bottom line is that I'm not sure what I need/what to get.

If this is the wrong place to ask a question like this, please let me know what the right place is!

Thanks in advance for your help!

The reviews on that product are pretty sketchy.

So all of these machines you want to share are in different places that can't be connected to a single computer to create a network?

I'm not sure I follow your question. Currently our SOP is just to have them all on a wired USB hub and just play musical computers with who is plugged into that USB hub.

I think i understand now. You are sharing usb devices but you are having trouble because when one user is using a peripheral, the others have to wait to use it.

Pretty much everything i have seen says that is the way it works with usb-over-lan.

Not so much that, I understand that restriction. Just want to find a way so we're not constantly having to play musical computers with who is plugged into the USB hub with all the peripherals attached.
