A router that supports a plethora of media-sharing protocols and features a built-in 160GB hard drive should be a perfect addition to any home with lots of multimedia. Integrating storage into a router--a device that's always on and can be easily hidden away--makes excellent sense, particularly when full-fledged NAS solutions are often too expensive or difficult to use. Considering that it's priced at roughly $260 from online retailers and is only slightly larger than standard routers, the Asus WL-700gE could have taken the networking world by storm. Instead, we expect to find it in the homes of alpha geeks only. The WL-700gE has so many features and such a poor configuration interface that confusion is guaranteed to overtake any mere networking mortal.
