Usb Splitter

[Niloc]

My laptop has only one USB port. I want to use a USB mouse and connect to the Internet via my mobile phone, can I get a device which will allow me to 'split' the USB into two USB's?

Just use an simple USB-Hub with 4 or even 7 ports!

Cheers.

I have a 'USB Four Ports Hub' which can run 4 devices through 1 port. Any computer store will sell them.

Sometimes laptop usb ports are weak power wise.  I know mine are.  I can use a usb port powered hub for most things but it starts to crap when it gets used for caddy drives and webcam etc. and if it gets loaded up.  A usb hub with a power supply works best for home office and I have the port powered one for the road.  My self powered hub is a kingston 7 port and works great.  The port powered one is a cheap 4 port from Big C.   You can try the cheap one first (150 200 baht) if it handles it great, but don't be supprized if it has some problems its most likely the laptops fault.  The kingston 7 port self powered was 1450 baht.
