"Buy it if you find it CHEAP"
Pros: Great options Some vision went into this
Cons: Options don't work that well.
Summary: Bought it cause it had a print server built in.
2 usb ports, recommend you use only low power devices, thumdrives and such, or self powered usb devices for printers and external Harddrives
Samba does not work that well. Keeps detecting my 1tb hitachi drive over and over. Shows 67 shared partitions, already tried various part sizes in fat32, EXT2 and EXT3 nothing helps. Could be a me thing or the hitachi drive as my small thumb drives seem to work fine
This baby runs various open firmware projects NICELY, but limited USB support from those projects. DD-WRT, Openwrt and Oleg work fine. Not hard at all to flash, 3 steps, not as easy as the linksys but easy enough. People with some *nix knowledge will have no problems making samba work right.
If you stay with the asus firmware disable the samba and just ftp to it. mapping a share via ftp in windows is easy enough.
