I've had a powered USB hub connected to the Time Capsule's USB port for a couple of years now with a printer and a portable hard drive connected to the hub.

The USB port has stopped working. I even tried turning the Time Capsule off and back on, and no luck.

Do any of you know if it would make sense to buy a male ethernet, female USB adapter and run everything through the ethernet connection on the Time Capsule?

For now I'm just taking the laptop to the room where the printer is and hooking the printer directly to the laptop when I want to print something. I can continue doing that if you guys don't think the ethernet option would work.

Thanks!
