Iv been having some fun expanding my Asus WL500W & WL500GPv2 routers into very handy Linux servers, thease models both have USB ports on them, and opensource linux with released source code, theres some easey to follow tutorials on Olegs forum If your into hacking hardware and have a little linux knolage
U basicly update the firmware to a telneted virsion mount your USB drive, and install your apps, ie... bittorrent downloader, mp3 streamer, NAS, Webserver,full axess to the power of linux on wireless router, great fun if u like that kind of thing
and can pick one up the WL500GPV2 for under 40 quid maybe this post shoud be in the bargin bucket section :)
