One of lesser known features that can be included in a wireless router is a USB port. This port can be used for basic transmission, but more often it is intended to allow a user to attach a storage device to the router. This means that a wireless router with USB ports is able to act as a central data hub, providing access to the USB storage device that is attached to it across the entire network.

Do you have to hook the router up to a computer?
No - a router can connect to a computer, another router, a switch, a hub, a bridge or a modem. If you are connecting to the Internet via DSL or cable company you will need a modem/router to connect to them. You then attach your computer (or computers) to that router. Routers are useful because they make decisions about which way a packet of data goes - this network or this network? If you have one network that doesn't go anywhere (connect to the Internet or another network) a router is of no use to you and a switch generally does wonderfully and is cheaper than a router.

Additionally, a bridge will also extend the range of a home network, allowing for better reception to other computers and devices that are already connected to the network through wireless adapters.

Bridge and Router: Extending a Network?
Anyone who wants to expand a wireless home network can do so with a bridge. Most wireless routers have four Ethernet ports, so this limits the amount of devices which could be connected through cables. A network bridge is a networking accessory which has Ethernet ports for compatible devices. The bridge can be connected to an existing router through Ethernet cables or wireless methods. The bottom line is that a network bridge ultimately links additional Ethernet ready devices to a router that can only physically support four Ethernet connections. A network bridge is similar to a USB hub in that it extends the number of possible connections.
