    I have an external drive, and I want wireless access to it. I want to know what my options are. Setting up a share through another computer is power consuming so I'd like to avoid that, and I have a router/modem but it doesn't have USB inputs, so that seems to be a dead end. Is there a device, hopefully short of a wireless enclosure, that can give me access to my Hard Drive wirelessly?
