As the title says, does it exist?

Wireless N+ ADSL 2+ router, with GigaBit ethernet ports and a USB storage port to connect an external HDD to.

Belkin N+ ADSL Router but you won't be happy with the USB speeds, and that I can promise.

Does it have GIGABIT ethernet? According to the chimps at IC, no.

According to the chimps at IC, no.

You even said it yourself, they are chimps. Don't even buy from them, unless you really wan't to spend R3K for something that goes for >R2K online.

Thanks much for the linky. It sounds like you have real-world experience with this router - what kind of tfr speeds should I expect to get from an external USB HDD on it?

Do not even go there, I'll check and post speeds tomorrow but the speeds are pathetic. The port is just there to say "hey, I'm a USB port."

EDIT: I couldn't find a flash drive, been rolling on DVD+RWs these days. BUT DO NOT RELY ON THE USB PORT FOR FAST SPEEDS.

Thanks - that rules it out for wireless Time Machine backups then

So you own a Mac? I thought you would then get a AirPort Extreme, it's N draft and you can use USB based storage space.
