I just wanted to ask because I’m debating between getting a router with a USB port and one without.

Also, with a HDD connected, everyone can use it fromt their phones right?

I’ve been looking at possible a Tenda RX9 Pro (w/o usb port) or a TP link next gen AX1800 (with a USB port).

I have a 1 gigabit download connection.

Sorry if I’ve missed anything, I’m new to networking

    just get a cheap nas eg from synology

    Cheap and Synology are mutually exclusive. But I agree with the rest of what you said.

    It’s not a good idea due to the load on the router and a proper NAS would be better

      I dont think I’d be able to afford a NAS unfortunately since they seem quite expensive.
      If I don’t end up attaching my HDD to a router, I’ll probably just keep it connected to my computer.
