To be honest, I purchased this él cheapo 4 port USB hub a few years go for about $20 and I have been using it hooked up to my Airport Extreme's USB port. I have an printer and a couple of external HD's hooked up to it, and they all stream wireless with no problems whatsoever.
And no, it is not powered externally. I think G.E. makes it.

Powered 7 port Belkin hub for me. Cost me £10. Perfect for the job.
Remember the more things plugged in to it, the slower the transfer speeds.
