With the USB connection on the Extreme I was able to connect my printer so it's available on all computers in the house even if my main computer is turned off. And this is an old HP laser printer, not a network compatible printer. You should also be able to add a splitter and install an HD, I did this for a while but I could not use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone my disk over this networked drive so I would up reattaching it directly to my Mac.
Hope this helps.

Hi all, A little introduction here. Traditionally, I love to read and research technology. The exception is wireless routers. I find them confusing and frustrating! Currently, I'm comparing a dLink wireless N router and the airport extreme. On one hand, I want to take the easy route and buy the airport extreme. I have had nothing but good experiences with Apple products. On that other hand, the dLink gets good reviews on Amazon and it is half the price. Please, guidance is welcome. We live in a 2 story townhouse and the router is usually upstairs. We have around 10 various devices that will be wirelessly connecting to the router at times. Usually, 2 or 3 at the same time. To extend this question further. Both of these routers have the USB connection on the back of the unit. Am I understanding it correctly, that this is how we could wirelessly listen to our music collection? Thanks all, hopefully you can help me sort this out.
