Wireless NAS solution that you cannot buy!
What the crap man! I finally find a
wireless network attached storage (NAS)
device that I want to buy but I can't find any retailer selling it. COME ON! ME WANT NOW! WTF People!!!!
A little background:
Lately I've been watching
It takes a thief
on the
Discovery Channel
and I got me thinking; if someone breaks into our house and steals our computers, we're out some valuable data -both my wife and I. So I need the following: a wireless network attached storage device. Now, they do exist and I can find them but they are usually geared for small to large businesses and are expensive. What I need/want is just a solution for home. It needs to be 802.11g compatible, stand-alone, affordable with a fair amount of storage (I don't need a 10 Terabyte NAS).
So every now and then, I
search
for what I'm looking for. Well, today I found what I need.
Actiontec
has a perfect
home solution
. Once I found it, I did some more searching to find reviews and/or places to buy it. Well, I found a lot of the former but none of the latter. Basically, everyone is reviewing it but nobody is selling it. Makes you wonder just how in the hell these people are reviewing it. On top of that, these reviewers are
posting prices
... and it's affordable but where did they get the prices from? WHERE?
Now I'm stuck. I finally found my wireless NAS solution but I CAN'T BUY IT! WTF!
If anybody out there knows where to purchase one of these OR knows of a comparable device let me know and I'll post it here so others trying to find it can BUY it. What we don't need are any more reviews. I've reviewed the reviews, now I just want it.

I just bought an Asus access point with a pair of USB ports (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833320008) Plug a hard drive in, configure it in the software, and you have FTP or network share NAS. Plug a printer in and you have a print server. Has software to do bittorrent downloads without a computer.
