    Is it possible to use the USB port at the back of the Thomson TWG870 wireless router to share a hard drive wirelessly between multiple computers on the same network?

    For example, plugging in my 2TB WD HDD and watching films on it on my ipad usptairs. (I am currently able to do this using my macbook pro and the AirVideo app, but it'd be nice not to leave the computer on all day)

    If this is possible, how do I go about setting this up?

    Not possible. The hardware supports LAN over the USB port (To connect your PC to the modem via USB) but not to stream media or share devices. I'm not even sure if it's enabled with the custom firmware used.

    Get yourself a nice router, like this one.
