hi, i was wondering if there is a device that works as a usb hub, but connects to the computer wirelessly via bluetooth to your mac. i think this would be nice since i will have a station where my macbook pro will go every night when i buy it and i would like to simply open it and have it connect to the monitor, printer, speakers, etc. without plug in in a bunch of cables.
thanks!

There are WiFi based wireless hubs available. Bluetooth doesn't have the data rate for USB. Even WiFi n is much slower than USBs top speed but its usable for slower devices.

Its not a router. Its simply a USB hub with a WiFi receiver and small controller.
