>>Besides the ability to network a USB printer, what does the airport router get you for around $170 that I wouldn't get from Belkin or Linksys for $120 (besides coolness which costs the $50 premium)?<<

The comparable Linksys is the WRT350N which has almost identical features and price and probably the same chipset..... the disk sharing feature adds about $50 (see WRT300N)..... the WRT3## series is remarkably ugly even for Linksys products (I own a WRT54 and it plays well with an Airport Express and rather like Linksys products for their performance/price).... I will probably get either the 350N or Airport Extreme for the disk sharing feature so that all of the computers can access the same music, photo and video files (100 GB+) without having to keep a computer on all of the time (and maintain it)
