Here goes,

I considered a NAS last week to sit on my network for my 3 pc's and 2 xbox 360's......but...firstly I forgot about the item on Ebay and have since found this.

Im pretty sure theres and ADSL and cable version of this or the one does both, and is priced around £50 not bad for a Gigabyte LAN wireless "N" router I thought,

My question is, do you thinks its possible to connect any old external USB HDD to the router as it also has a USB socket for this reason, but I wonder if the 360's would see it.....it has the usual Upnp etc but Im no genius at this kinda stuff.

Just as I imagine many people like me will be wanting a Gigabyte router to go with their 50Mb broadband as the freebie from VM aint!

For me this would do 2 jobs in one,

Found this place at a good price,http://www.eclipsecomputers.com/prod...WR1043ND&af=50

Ps I have had TP Link router and switch for 4 years without a single issue, and my current one works with the 50Mb

Just to update,

I have ordered one of these as I've been told it will do ADSL or cable as there is no RJ11 connection,

Also for you 360 guy's like me this has a USB connection on the back and someone on an Australian forum has confirmed they have a 1TB HDD connected and both their 360's can read the media on the HDD connected to the router...

Perhaps I have slept through or just missed something but this seems an ideal solution for me until I can afford a large capacity NAS worth having,

Once its arrived I'll test, attached a HDD and post back,
