Wireless USB hubs haven't proved themselves to be that useful without USB audio support and adequate transfer rate. After all, printers and hard drives have gradually moved on to wireless one way or the other. Cutting the cables of a USB sound card or a pair of existing wired USB speakers is still an interesting niche advantage WUSB hubs offer.

So, that's what WiQuest gives us today - Windows Isochronous USB Audio support over WUSB. This is absolutely essential not just for completing device support for currently shipping DWAs and native hosts, but also paving way for a new breed of native Wireless USB surround speakers and docking stations. If you have a WiQuest-powered WUSB product (eg. Belkin & D-link WUSB Hub, Lenovo T61/61p, Dell XPS notebooks), you should be able to take the software upgrade path as soon as the manufacturer posted the version 1.4 driver (Windows XP and Vista only).
