New router from Asus connects PCs to a central hard drive and more

14 August 2006 12:10 GMT / By Amber Maitland

Asus has brought out a wireless router that doubles as a portable hard drive to create a media hub over a network.

The WL-700gE features USB2.0 connections so that printers and speakers can be shared over the network, and data stored on USB flash memory can be quickly downloaded and shared.

160GB hard drive provides room to store video and music, while a download master supports 7 BitTorrent streams and 10 FTP files in a simultaneous download, even when the PC is powered off.
