The USB doesn't work and can't be enabled.

unfortunately dude I was having this conversation about a Talk Talk router in the networking section of this forum with another dude. There are enough problems/missing basic features with isp supplied routers without trying to get them to do anything else like act as print servers. If you want to look at running networked storage have a read here to save me typing it all out again :)

My final words of wisdom are this. Linksys are absolutely superb but Asus are also very very good. Whatever router you decided to get, I cannot emphasise enough that you should only get a Linksys or Asus. There are cheaper brands out there like Belkin and TP Link but in my book cheap = stress because they throw tantrums and don't do what they are supposed to. If you want a quality router with high performance and loads of features go for Linksys or Asus.

I have the C7 and it's been rock solid - very good range.

IMO there is very little point in spending extra cash just for a 'brand'.

For instance, Linksys was once owned by Cisco but is now part of Belkin. Buy a Linksys and you are really buying a Belkin at a greatly inflated price!

The C9 looks very good and for your use to share a USB stick has a USB 3 port
(USB 2.0 won't serve faster than 20MB/s).
