Wifi Question

bbenakjrOGR Forum Member

I know it says that you have to have one wifi for each TIU. But was thinking, from one wifi unit, why couldn't you split the usb cable to the other TIU? Then you would have one wifi unit running 2 TIU's? Just a thought. Do they even sell a USB Splitter?

Buddy,

First, you would use a USB hub rather than a splitter cable.

Second, I tried that and, unfortunately, it flat-out doesn't work.

USB is a 1 to 1 digital communication. Won't work due to the way USB signaling works. This isn't a dumb serial terminal....
