Duncan,
At lot of the dual-band wirless N routers have a usb port of them for
connecting an HD that is then available to machines connected for
backups etc. over the network. One disadvantage of the WNDR3700 is that
it is really slow for file transfers even on a 1Gbit network (which
you'd have if you have it). So, that's the one of two negatives about
this router. Still, I'm going to get it as they all have pros and cons.

Anthony,
What do you mean by, "Too bad the storage is so slow, though." ??
If your current router is only capable of 10/100, then your current
LAN is only capable of 10/100. Even with G-Bit cards installed in
devices.
I think, anyway.

Yes, as Bryan says and I have confirmed. I guess I didn't realize how
long it has been since I paid any attention to my network. Even with the
powerline adapters, which claim a max throughput of 200 Mbps, I'd have
to get a newer & better router to get that (or the best real world
numbers I can get).
So, I guess I'll go with the Netgear WNDR3700 if no one else chimes in
with a reason not too. It seems to be rated as highly as any other and
has some cool features. Too bad the storage is so slow, though.

I'm using a linksys wrt54g with a wsb24 booster.
My mothers claim to do 1000 Mbps yet on file transfers I only get
like 11 MB/s which is more like 100Mpbs/8 = 12.5 MB/s. If my wired
network is running at 1000 Mbps shouldn't I bet getting around 125
MB/s file transfers over the wired network?
What gives?
Your speeds will only be as fast as the slowest link in the chain. If I
recall the wrt54g is only 10/100 Mbs on the Ethernet ports.
