Spec me a router

I'm having NAS problems so was looking online for some info when I realised a lot of routers have USB ports.

Im looking for a router that I can plug in my external hdd to use as a NAS. Preferably with a gigabit port for the fastest possible file transfer, decent wireless speeds. I'm guessing wireless N is pretty standard these days.

I'm hoping to get something for around £50-70.

Thanks in advance for the help

I wouldn't recommend using a router as a NAS. Throughput is never going to be amazing.

I tried a NAS drive with a BT homehub 2.0 and it was annoyingly slow

Most nas are cheap and slow, even if they claim gigabit etc. Can't beat having a real pc in place imo.
