The ReadyShare feature of the WNR3500L is great for sharing files over the Internet, but I'm not sure how HD media streaming would work, since I haven't tested that. Has anyone on the community tested this, and if so, with what streaming device?
Hi-
I'm heading to Fry's this afternoon to pick up my WNR3500L. It's going to replace my Airport 500GBwhich I haven't been satisfied with (hdd access/transfer time). My question is this: Should I use USB on the WNR3500L or would it be better to use a NAS for attaching a hard disk? If NAS, any particular brand/type? My priority of importance is-
1. HD video streaming
2. Access from outside the home network
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Go for the NAS. Even the cheapest one will give better performance than connecting a USB-drive to the 3500l.
I got 5MB/s read and 1.5MB/s write using a 1TB NTFS-formated drive. It also had trouble with files larger than 4GB.
I thought I could get away with the cheaper solution 3500l + usb-drive, but ended up buying an external NAS anyways :\
