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.

http://www.tp-link.com/products/prod...=TL%2DWR1043ND

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
