I think the right question is more like: Is it possible to use any of these with my camera? Smile Near the end of the article I read this:

"Belkin warns that certain types of USB devices may not be compatible, including TV tuners and Webcams. If you've connected such a device, a warning will show up in the control center."

Seeing words like "certain types" and "may" makes me think the only way to find out is to buy the thing and try it.

I ordered one of these. As it only does 100Mbit Ethernet, I suspect it won't be able to handle much...
Will report as soon as I have test results.

We can only hope it will handle some cameras, hopefully more than it wont.

What about the routers with build in usb? And i have seen some NAS devices with usb too, where it was possible to connect cameras to.

Tested with
a Logitech Notebook Pro at 800x600 5fps and
a Orbit MP at 640x480 5fps
at the same time
works fine altough the Belkin control center says the devices might not be compatible.
