I have several USB devices: a Seiko label printer, a Fujitsu scanner, a Dymo label printer, a Brother printer, etc.
I use an Apple iMac, and have a wireless and ethernet network based on the Airport Extreme.
I would like to move the various USB devices off my desk to create more space, and would like to move them to a side cabinet which has access to my network via ethernet. (I realize I could run a USB cable from my iMac to the side cabinet, but I don't want to have a cable running across the floor.)
If I buy an Airport Express (which has a USB port) and place it on the side cabinet, can I connect a USB hub to that USB port so that I can place all the USB devices on the side cabinet?
The Apple website suggests that this can only be done with the Airport Extreme, not the Airport Express:

Are there other alternatives?
Thank you!
