    is there such a thing?

    I have a few external hard drives that i want to access over a wireless connection with my laptop is there any way of doing this.

    I'm not even sure if such a product exists, something that has a wireless router with USB2 connectors for the hard drives.

    apart from connection them to a PC with a wireless card i cant see how i can do this

    anyone....

    You can use the Linksys Storage Link, but it would need an ethernet link into your network (if you plug it into your router, you'll have wireless access to it).

    Linksys also has a router with a built-in Storage Link, with some additional features (streaming media server, etc...), but I don't know how many devices you can connect:
