Ideas please for PC laptops - what is the best (I am NOT looking for the cheapest) way to connect HUB or Bluetooth?

Really depends on what you are trying to accomplish. A wired network will have the greatest speed, and BlueTooth will have a pretty limited range. You should expand a little more on what you want to accomplish...

By the way... welcome to WebmasterWorld!

Ok, per example I have a USB to printer plug that works fine on a hub that also has USB WIFI access, USB mouse, USB keyboard. The power for the hub is not derived from the laptop so there is no drain. The issue is that I keep adding USB drives day by day .... ideas?

If you are worried about the maximum number of devices you can plug in to USB, you can connect up to 127 individual USB devices at one time. Due to the fact that some devices reserve bandwidth, the actual number of devices that will work simultaneously is less than the theoretical maximum.

I imagine your USB wireless is eating a big chunk of your USB bandwidth. I'd change to a PCI wireless card.

Hope that helps.
