BT Router and External Storage

ChucKcasH · 30 Nov 2006 at 07:59

Hi Folks, am looking to get my Sis a WD Mybook for crimbo. She has just had BT broadband fitted with the funky new home hub. Will this sit connected to the homehub via the USB connection and be seen as a NAS drive? For backup utils it will have to be connected directly, but for everyday use, will it sit beind it alright?

cheers

I don't think the HomeHub supports this, not at present anyway.

This is the new Homehub with 2 rj45's and at least 1 usb port. Essentialy, it's just a 2 port wireless ADSL router, so really, the question is relevant (I think) to external storage and routers in general. I've not mucked about with one yet so i'm not sure matey. The connectors are there, it's just whether they will see it on the network alright.
