Anybody knows what's available out there similar to an Apple Airport Express but has a more full-fleged wireless router function?
I haven't got a wireless router yet & I want a pretty much all-in-one wireless router preferably with wireless n & capable of sharing harddrives PLUS being able to connect to my home stereo system via a cable like the Airport Express. According to different reviews, the Express seems to be limited in functionality as a fully functioned wireless router. Also, the Express only has the wireless g but not the wireless n capability.
Any idea?
-
Well, let me lower my requirement from my original post to either a g or n wirelss, not just n, knowing that n is still in its transient state.

So nobody comes up with any recommendations?
What about those of you who own or have used the Apple AirPort Express?
What's your opinion? -
I like and use Linksys. You can use their website to reconnect to the internet when your connection goes south (wireless).
-
BTW, does any Linksys router has connection for you to hook up to an audio
system? -
I've honestly only ever heard of the Apple airports being able to do that.
I personally want one of these beasties: http://www.slimdevices.com/
I would think that any router with the built-in functionality would either be really expensive, or have a really crappy DAC and sound like poop.
EDIT: Linksys does have a dedicated so-called "music bridge," which basically has you install a software application on your computer that sends all of the audio signals to the device, which it then processes and sends to your stereo. Not built-in, but it might be what you're looking for.

Thanks for the links BigV. Looks like they are decent DAV but I guess there
isn't anything like I described on the market just yet huh. -
I was just about to start a new thread but then I saw this one...
I just don't understand why there are so few competitors to the Airport Express.
I'm looking for a router with audio output, and USB for HD's (just like Airport Extreme).
I really hope that Apple releases a new 802.11n Airport Express soon with the that kind of USB.
