Hi,

I'm looking at upgrading my wireless router. I don't want to pay the £200+ for a Time Capsule and I've been looking at the TP Link TL-WR1043ND. It has a USB port for attaching external hard disks.

Would this be suitable for Time Machine? I'd like to drop a big HD there with two partitions, one for Time Machine and one for general file transfer between computers - one Mac and a couple of PCs.

Secondly, how do I get OSX to write to NTFS partitions? This is so that the Mac and PCs can share a file transfer partition. Is MacFuse what I'm looking for?

Thanks in advance.
