Buffalo wzr-hp-g300nh router

Awesome router.  Now, this isn't a router for the every day person.  It has a unique feature that is comes with dd-wrt built in from factory.  DD-WRT is a linux based firmware that you can put on routers that has cool features.  However, it starts as a barebones linux server so you need to know linux in order to use it.  This is why I am surprised a company decided to make it the firmware of choice.  However, they put their own web interface on top of it that allows easy access to some really cool features. 

Let's start with the router has a USB 2.0 port.  It can be used cto create a NAS (network storage).  As long as the drives are formatted FAT or XFS it will automatically share the drive on the network as macaddressdiskX_ptY where macaddress is the mac of the router, X and Y of the disk and partition numbers.

Since it supports NAS it has a bittorrent client built in.  You can upload a .torrent and it will download to one of the shares.

Is have a sleep schedule.  You can tell it to go to sleep at scheduled times, say when you are at work.  Saves on electricity.

Another really cool feature is it supports multiple SSIDs each with their own security.  Why is that cool?  Do you own a DS?  DS only supports WEP security.  WEP can be hacked in 5 minutes.  So what you can do with this router is create a seperate SSID with a WEP password that is seperate from the rest of your network.
