Linksys 802.11n Wireless Router = FTP Appliance

Linksys WRT350N +

I upgraded my home network from 100Mbps / 802.11g to 1000Mbps / 802.11n (draft) and discovered a cool feature that Linksys includes in some of their new wireless routers. In the back of the router, you’ll find the usual network connections but now there is a USB port. You can plug a drive into this port and have the Linksys router configure an FTP server for external and internal use as well as creating an internal Windows network share. A FTP appliance! There are admin screens for setting up users, etc. The feature is called “Storage Link”.

    802.11n definitely a big improvement to WLAN. Finally we see progress. The thing is, they put it in the home edition router which is absolutely useless. In a few months every home router will have the power to run a whole campus…
