Add a hard drive to Netgear's new WGT634U Wireless Media Router

Netgear WGT634U Wireless Media Router


Normally we wouldn't even bother mentioning a new 802.11g wireless access point (no, not even one that sports a special "Super Wireless" mode that lets you double the speed up to 108Mbps), but Netgear's new WGT634U Wireless Media Router has a little something extra that we expect will be standard on all of these things sooner or later: a USB 2.0 port for attaching an external hard drive that anyone on the network can access. Plus they've cut a deal with Western Digital (sort of like Linksys' arrangement with Maxtor) to hook people up with drives that can used with this thing, though almost any external drive will work (even a lot of those Flash keychain drives) and they've even prepared a list of which ones are compatible and which ones aren't.
