Wireless USB Hub for mac?

Airport Express base station

Its cheaper ($20 less than both of those!)
Has a built in N router which is an added bonus
Has a security slot

and with a cheap normal hub can be made to take as many decives as you want, and be configured straight out of the box with a mac to use printers, external hard drives etc.

That only has one usb port, and I could have sworn that I read that a usb hub wouldn't work correctly attached to it to give it more.

If i'm mistaken and I can attach a regular usb hub to it for more ports, then that was my first choice (time capsule more so than AEBS) and the direction that I will go.

Edit: Must have typo'd something on my earlier search regarding this, as it was pretty easy to find by google, that does indeed work. Guess that will be the direction that I will go. Thanks :)

You just have to make sure that the HUB has it's own plug for electricity. The one in the Airport will not be able to power it AND some devices.
