In that case, you'll need a router that can support NAS, and an external USB hard drive. The former can be gotten anywhere you can find routers; just be sure the one you choose has a USB port and says something about supporting NAS. The latter can be gotten anywhere as well, but you may have to format the drive once you get it. If only Macs will be accessing it, you can format it to the usual Mac file system. If both Mac and Windows will be accessing it, you will need to use a different format, I believe it's called XFAT (extended file allocation table). This is supported by both Mac and Windows and lets them read and write, but it does not support files over 4gb in size. Google "write to drive with mac and windows" or something like that for more information. See your router's manual for details on setting up your NAS.
