Hub 3 Harddrive connection?
Can you attach a HD to the router to create a network to back stuff up. I could with my old Asus router but wasn't sure with the hub 3 I can't seem to find much on google?

You can attach a network HDD to the Hub3.

Re: Hub 3 Harddrive connection?
You didn't specify that it was a USB drive.
It's still possible to keep your ASUS connected to the shub 3 and have your USB drive attached to that.

Re: Hub 3 Harddrive connection?
Almost any separate router solution will be better than using VM's supplied kit. Put the SH3 in modem mode and connect up your router to port 1 on the SH3.

Re: Hub 3 Harddrive connection?
I have the n56u router just wonder how that would compare to the hub 3 for speed vs wifi? as the hub 3 is AC rated

I have the N66U which I connect to my SH3 (which is in Modem mode), I have 2 NAS drive connected to it.
The N66U does have 2 USB ports, but I havent connected anything to it for ages.
