What is the average person going to use USB on the router for? I have a $200+ router myself, but would feel too restricted with the OnHub's single LAN port. Still very interesting. Just wondering why the high price point and (imo) over the top specs.

It's a good way to share a printer, especially if you don't have a printer that supports WiFi.

Ah, okay. Hadn't thought of that, thanks.
