Serial, USB, Wifi etc etc wireless ?

Just a thread to discuss comms options, partly as Rocar's thread was bumped where he seemed to have issues when using a longer USB cable for comms
You'd think in this day and age, wireless USB or serial systems would exist by now.
I was googling and did find one wireless setup for USB, although it was from 2008 and seems to be discontinued now. As to whether it would have worked given it would also be in conjunction with a USB to serial adapter...who knows

Or Serial extenders, wired that can use a simple Cat5 for the extension

Or USB extender via Cat5

I wonder could those devices that transit via CAT5....then be adapted to wireless using a pair of travel routers ? These can be configured for different modes of operation.
All very cumbersome even if they did have potential, but why on earth are there no devices in this day and age to allow simple RS232 or USB wireless connectivity ?
Although googling that same company...seems they offer wireless serial comms via RF ? Which I guess should give a pretty good range ?
