Just FYI, there is a catch with this nice additional feature, USB.... You can use this with anything that needs USB connection, with some device, only one computer can access at a time, and need to be logged off before other computer can access. That applies to USB storage device. For printer, it won't be a problem sharing with other computers. I have that, and not using it anyway. I ended up bought a NAS, and throw in two HD and set RAID 1 so that I won't worry about losing data. RAID 1 requires two hard drives, they both have same files (Mirrored) on it meaning if one fails, other will still have files for me to retrieve.

Now I joined D-Link bandwagon!
PS: Thankyou everyone for suggestion, D-link way to go!! 
My friend who had similiar Belkin N router and she ordered Dlink DIR-625 through Newegg.com. She is looking foward to get rid of Belkin too. Had same issue like I have and need it for her Z340 wirelessly too. She doesn't use broadband as much as I do. She aske me to go over to her place and set it up and her husband is getting impatient and he can't wait to use VP again
