I just bought this router

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6833127215

It has a usb port on the back and it says for windows connect now. Does anyone know what this can be used for. I assumed you could use it as a print server or external hard drive but im not sure now.

Anyone have experience with this?

I thought it could be used for an external hard drive, but I was wrong. I have had that router for a year now. The USB port is just for configuration. It can't be used for anything else. What a let down for such an expensive router. :(
