Peter,

Nice find.

Looks like support has landed in Trunk (which will become the next stable release in the future)

The USB port does support data.

And NewEgg has it on special for $25 dollars at the moment.

... and ordered one.

Really, can't wait till trickle down brings 5Ghz to devices like these. I personally want to abandon the 2.4Ghz spectrum due to over crowding. There are only 4 AP's in the 5Ghz bands near my apartment, and there is no competition because of how wide the spectrum is.

Depending on your intended use, there is also this:

TP-Link TL-WR810N 300 Mbps Wireless N Mini Router     $35

It has a built-in power supply, 2 ethernet ports, and a USB port.

It can operate in several modes:

1. Router
2. Hotspot
3. Range Extender
4. Client
5. Access Point

Right now it is acting as a wireless client bridge (no NAT) for the MPB and a 
Grandstream VOIP ATA, while powering a USB fan.

I got it mainly to run the VOIP phone off WiFi.
