This pcmag.com article talks about the interference: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2423604,00.asp Basically, you will gain speed in your USB 3.0 devices while sacrificing your router's wireless performance.

Hi, fastman. If I understand what I read online correctly, interference only happens when the USB 3.0 feature is built-in to the router. My Asus RT-N66U only has USB 2.0 built-in -- not USB 3.0. So my buying a faster and more expensive USB 3.0 hub is, um, unnecessary. Because it is connected to...

Thank you, Fardringle. Time to go shopping. :)

Hi, Jack -- Thank you. I actually did get a good USB 3.0 hub with its own power supply (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc..._0_4_port.html). But I was thinking of replacing it with a cheaper, unpowered one since the external drives are already powered...

Hi. I just want to update this thread with the solution I found. I simply bought and connected a 4-port USB hub on the Asus RT-N66U router. Then on the hub I connected a printer and 2 external drives. I was surprised I can access all three -- printer and 2 external drives -- from any PC or Mac...

Yes, this helps. Thank you.

My router, Asus rt-n66u, has two USB ports. I already have a 3TB hard drive on one and a printer on the other. If I wanted a second external HD on my network available at all times, what's the simplest way to do it? Would a second router with its own USB port connected to my ASUS rt-n66u work...

My apologies, ViRGE.

Thank you, blurredvision. Good to know.

OK. I would just consider you a minor then and reply politely. I think what you're saying about mature people being resistant to change is a myth. Being resistant to change as part of human nature is not. Maybe, and this is just a big maybe on my part, mature people open their mouths more about...

Um, is "HeXen" your real name? Or an alias? I would just like to know if I should listen to you.

I (perhaps you, too) have been around since Windows 1.0 (and before). So I'm not unfamiliar with whining on every major release which I think started around WinME(?). (I think complaints in the past were mostly on the engine though, not the interface.) What you're saying about "hated it in the...

Well said, thank you. I've been trying to say the same thing in so many words. EDIT: Now if I can just find this Media Player so I can do a quick rip of this CD I just bought and go back to work...

Maximilian (is that your real name?), can you cite posts that prompted you to use "afraid" and "moronic"? EDIT: Oops I think I misunderstood. You're calling moronic not people but the phrase "scared of change". Apologies.

Hmm, not sure why "hate" is being used a lot here because I don't think that's it. This thread's title I think naturally attracts those who are frustrated by the new UI. I'm not saying Windows' -- if you call us "haters" then I can call you -- "lovers" have no business here, just that maybe it's...
