WL500g with 2 usb ports

[Technik]

hi guys,
this is very cool, but, why not just plug an USB hub to the existent port??
it works perfectly.

You always have a choice. Our choice is to break limits...
I have USB hub as well but I usually need only 2 USB ports. One port is dedicated to USB flash key in my case - now I can put it inside the router to have a very compact device. No external cable to hub, no extra power needed. Quite useful if you need some mobility like me.

same here..
with this, you can, for example, install a 2.5''HD and a usb<->ide adapter _INSIDE_ the router... so... how cool is that !!!
the next time your friend tells you about his fantastic linksys wrt54g... ask him if he can do this.... LOL...

I'm glad that the fact I noticed the "2nd usb port" in the logs ended up in a real solution, and in the unveiling of a hidden surprise in the router....
