Looking for a Wifi USB extender

[WyomingKnott]

What I want to do is have a USB device wirelessly connected to my PC. No equivalent device with WiFi is available.

So I need a device that will have a USB A (master) port and a WiFi connection. I connect to it as a WiFi device from my PC, I plug the USB device into it, and my PC sees it as a USB device even though I don't run a wire to it.

Every time I search, I find the reverse: WiFi receivers that attach to the PC via USB to give the PC WiFi connectivity. Can you help me?

It has to be WiFi, rather than just a USB wireless bridge (plug one dongle into your PC, the device into the other)?

I know I had someone wanting to do this years ago, to prevent any spikes from going through a USB oscilloscope into the PC. Will look.

EDIT: If you can find it for sale somewhere, this: http://www.bellequip.at/icron/wireless_usb_20_extender/wiranger_icron_wireless_usb_20_extender.htm

EDIT 2: Or this? What's it for?

I saw the EDIT 2 thingy. Top of my candidate list so far.

For this http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2160706/remote-controllable-home-music-server.html , if I go the route of sending the data wirelessly to the DAC. It doesn't have WiFi, and the BlueTooth that it does have is too slow for the quality that I want to use.

I'm not sure how well it would work with a cellphone, because I'm guessing you need drivers for it to show up. Also, audio over WiFi without large amounts of buffer could be a problem, especially as it's probably uncompressed.

I'd suggest sticking xbmc on a machine and using the remote control apps for that. There's what appears to be something of an attempt at a Rhapsody plugin, though I'm not sure how well it would work. The other option would be to have both xbmc and rhapsody players on whatever machine you have hooked up to the DAC, and just only have one playing at a time.

DRM is a pain.

Probably what you said.
