Most wireless routers do not have hard drives.
If there is a drive on the network (NAS Network Accessed Storage) that cannot be shared it could be a router setting but there are many other reasons such as NAS setup that are more likely.
Yes, you can connect your hard drive to this router. If use of a program from the e4200 router you can download and install it from the manufactures website and once installed you can share your hard drive.
You should be connected to the router either with a wireless connection or with lan connection.
LAN local area network, can connect computers using cords or wireless, used in schools and offices.
Unless somebody stole them from you then yes a wireless router does have cords. You have the power cord which connects the power to the device and you have the Ethernet cables which are used to connect the wireless router to the modem and to any other hard-wired devices.
I use a hard wired connection for my computer gaming. I find that there can be lagging when you use a wireless network. If you really want a wireless router check best buy
Your wireless network has not storage capability itself. However, it is connected to computers and hard drives. So if you are running out of space add a new hard drive to your computer and share it, then it is accessible via the wireless network. Certain routers like Apple Airport Base Stations allow you to attach a hard drive directly to it, creating an instant network drive.
An external hard drive can only be connected to a router with a USB port. Consider Asus routers for hooking up external drives.
Use the short USB lead and plug into your computer. It will plug into the USB jack on a wireless router (mine works on my BT HomeHub), a laptop and the hard drive.
OK, well you were half right in your question. In order to play on XBox live you will need either the wireless network adapter or run an Ethernet cable from your 360 to your home router. Simply having the hard drive will not allow you to play on XBox live.
Not hard at all. Just refer to the user manual that comes with it and you should be fine.
It's very easy to secure a wireless router, but be sure to use WPA2 encryption, as WEP is very insecure.
No. Computer hardware is what is in the computer such as hard drive, motherboard etc. A router is a separate item. A router "routes" network data from one connection on the router to another of the router connections using internal parameters to determine where to "route" the data. It uses internal tables usually set (programmed) by the owner or network administrator and by information contained in the network transmission data (where is it coming from and where should it go). A wireless router is just a router with one or more radio transmitter/receiver that act as additional network conections with the additional programming to manage the wireless connections. A router is a computer processor, memory, and the additional hardware to handle the (ethernet) network connections and the wireless connections). Some routers (the more expensive firewall routers) even have hard drives (or flash drives) and the ability to attach a keyboard, mouse and monitor for management purposes. The cheaper simpler routers usually are only managed by a web browser interface Any computer with one or more ethernet network ports and/or wireless connectivity can be used as a router with the correct software installed.
