    Question USB hub compatible with Wii?

    I've got 3 USB devices to plug into my Wii (HDD, microphone and USB to ethernet adapter) and only 2 USB ports on the Wii. Anyone know if USB hubs are compatible with the Wii?

    Yes, a USB hub will work on the wii.
    Rock band needs four USB ports to play the full multiplayer experience.
    two guitars,
    mic,
    drums.
    It comes with a USB hub.
    Looks generic one. Nothing special

    There's numerous advantages to stickign with wired, but that's off topic.

    I've ordered a Logitech Premium USB Hub thingo, as generally I've found there products to be of a good quality. It's also got it's own power supply so that may be beneficial.
