Hello,
I need to replace an old USRobotics wireless-g router I've had for a few years and so I've been doing some research into which wireless router I'm going to buy so that I can network a printer and hard drive. I was looking at the AirPort Extreme Base Station with Gigabit Ethernet but I noticed that there is only one USB port. I'm not sure what limitations the AirPort router has, but ideally this is what I would like to do with my new router:
1. Add a printer so it can be networked and accessed by both PC's and Mac's (I know, I can't get my parents to drop the old PC)
2. Add an external hard drive to support backups using time machine.
3. Add other hard drives to support DVD's I own so I essentially have a jukebox of DVD's.
Can anyone give me any suggestions?
Thanks
