what do i need to run a gaggle of webcams on a laptop?
i bought a couple cheepo hubs on ebay but when i connect my flash drive to them i get low speed warnings from winXP.
i suppose externally powered would help...? laptop doesnt offer a lot power for usb devices?
working with a low budget here.
do the long extender cables with booster offer any aid? should those be used with powered hubs ?
and should be connected near side or far side of a booster extension?
can i just make short extenders into long ones with 30 feet of CAT5? can i just add my own external power supply to that cable ? what type supply can i use? perhaps a wall wart i may already have lying around?
could i possibly ask more questions?
