Hello everyone. I have an Airport Extreme and I want to connect 2 printers to it. I'm wondering if I can use any USB hub and connect it to the USB port on the Airport Extreme, then connect the printers to the USB Hub?
Got a tip for us?

Ok I was looking at Apple.com and it states that the USB hub has to be powered. Is this true? Does it have to be powered or can it just be connected via USB?

Yeah I have a USB powered hub connected to mine. U only need a powered one when you have devices that dont have a power adaptor and chew up a lot of power.
just a cheapy 4-port one from newegg. I wanted one that had a short built in USB cable and white that matched the AEBS.
I have a printer and a external hard drive for TM plugged in.
