The ASUS WL-700gE router looks like THE featured filled router for Makers who want a mini media server as their router, I think I'm going to get one of these -

Some of the features:

* 64/128 bit WEP, WPA/WPA2 supports TKIP, AES, WPA, WPA2 and MAC

* Flexible capacity expansion
* Automatically backup digital file to the external USB hard drive
* Create personal web pages. Quickly build photo album in 3 simple steps

mmm anime... See i liek the fact it allows you attach more external storage unlike others ive seen your stuck with whats internal... Im going to check out the review in a min and see what the deal is bec honestly it seems like a great idea

all shares on the router can be configured for access via CIFS, NFS and FTP protocols is a nice feature thats one ofm y concerns is ways to access the files once its on a device like this i hate the ones in the past you need special software cant just jump on a share. But this is better, it has a app you can isntall to manage it instead from the web interface witch is nice too.

Ther interface for starting downloads is nice but im wondering how it works with sites like Fileplanet with all the dynamic file linking.

But i wish it had more fatures on the firmware, i wonder if theres anythign better she is pricey...

Emmm personally i wouldnt get something like that.. 2 much stuff that could go wrong and i have never seen it in the Router top 10 tables..

I have got a D-Link DGL 4300.. And before you go ewwww D-Link, you really have to check out the specs..

Id do it if the firmware had more to it more of a small bizz router because it is a 250 dollar router
