    Hello Guys;

    I am looking for a reliable G band router which allows USB drive to plug in a HDD/Flash drive.And would be also good to have a VPN connection(Intention to access some of the files from the HDD attached to the router over internet).I do play some games at times.The range isn't a big issue.But it should have atleast 2 ethernet port.And the input internet must be a standard Ethernet and not the DSL cable input.Cheaper the better :)


    Thanks for taking the time to read and reply.

    Asus WL-500g Premium should do the trick- pretty good hardware (240MHz CPU, 32MB RAM, 8MB flash) can run DD-WRT and has two USB ports that can be shared (HDD, printer available from the network or even a webcam)
    Costs some $70 though.
