Home WiFi router will bittorrent and store 160GB of files, too

By at 6:57 am Sunday, Aug 13


Here's ASUS's latest home WiFi router, which comes with 160GB of storage, a BitTorrent client, an FTP client and an iTunes server. Basically, this thing will download several days' worth of video and audio for you, store it and then stream it back over your network. It's also a solution for backing up your home machines (though you should always keep your backups off-site!) and running an in-house file-server. Link (via Gizmodo)
