Being able to share an external warehouse attached to the wireless router is an advantage to preserve your multimedia wireless environment. This is particularly advantageous if your wireless router supports a built-in media server. Wireless routers with a built-in media server allow you to stream multimedia files stored in the attached warehouse to the Blu-Ray player, Xbox console, and Hdtv seamlessly.
New D Link Dir-827 and Dir-857: The First Wireless Routers With a Usb 3.0 Port
Standard home wireless routers do not include a Usb port, but mostly home wireless routers which fall into high operation router class are embedded with one or two ports. Usb 2.0 port can deliver data rate replacement up to 480Mbps. If you have 5 or ten users or even more on your network either via wired or wireless connections way the files stored in the attached warehouse intensively time to time, you will perceive a slow operation in accessing or transferring the files to and from the storage. This is due to the maximum data rate replacement the Usb 2.0 expedient can deliver is up to 480Mbps. What if the router is embedded by Superspeed (aka Usb-3.0) port?
Intel specifies the speed of Superspeed port as fast up to 10 times as the speed of customary Usb 2.0 port with the data rate replacement up to 5Gbps. In Ces 2011 D Link showcased two wireless routers which are embedded by Superspeed port: the Dir-827 and the Dir-857 wireless dual band routers with data rate replacement up to 2Gbps. It's not as fast the maximum speed replacement as Superspeed port specified by Intel (5Gbps), but it is still as fast 4 times as those customary routers with Usb 2.0 port.
