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.

United StatesThe 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?

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 :\
