    Hi, I recently signed up to vodafone @home and got their router,
    a huawei echo life. It can take an external drive with some tinkering in the router settings.

    Thanks for the tip, but just need a router that will take an external drive without having to spend time adjusting settings/tinkering around with it.

    http://www.donedeal.ie/computeraccessories-for-sale/vodafone-hg556a-broadband-router/6637376 is asking eur20 in Cork

    edit:I don't think there's any tinkering needed, but it might only like FAT32. It will take 2 USB drives.

    Cheers for the linky, but that might be a problem, as i would need to be able to use a router that could stream media from a fat32 and/or a NTFS external drive.

    Any other routers i should be looking at that would have usb?
