I have moved into a new apartment and im in the market for a new wireless router. My delima is. Do I go with the airport extreme base station, time capsul or another brand?

I would like to be able to hook up an external HD to the router to access it from different computers. Base station will give me this for 200$ or I can pick up a refurb time capsul for 270. 70$ more and I get a 500GB drive which is not a bad deal. Or go with another brand router which seem to all run under 100$ Is it worth it to spend the extra to get the apple router? Any other brands out there that have a USB port on them to hook up a printer/HD?

The D-Link DIR-655 allows you to connect an external hard drive and share it across the network. However, currently there is only a Windows client that can access devices attached to the router's USB port. D-Link is currently working on a Mac version, but I'm not sure as to when it's going to be available. Though you can contact D-Link and request a beta of the software, the company has been more than willing to supply it to those who have asked.
