You know how nearly all routers have like usb ports nowadays?
Is it possible to create a virtual link that allows the computer to connect and recognize it as a genuine usb port?

Ie. I can plug other peripherals such as mouse, keyboard, Bluetooth dongle and not only be limited to just NAS and printers?

I've googled some...but haven't got much...
mainly on an outdated USB/IP project ( Link: http://usbip.sourceforge.net/ )

FYI: I am on Windows 10 and using DDWRT firmware
 


I've seen some industrial solutions to the problem:

On a more consumer level, I've seen the steam-link connect wireless to USB keyboards, mouse and wired controllers

I've been reading a bit more but haven't got anything much yet.
