Wireless N Router with eSATA NAS?

Does anyone know of a good quality wireless N router with NAS support that connects via eSATA? I am looking to upgrade from wireless g and my external HD only has eSATA port for connecting it. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

It's because even at full N speed it still is slower than an USB 2.0 port. There's no reason for this interface on a router today.

I need to be able to connect it to my wireless router when home, and take it with me when I'm traveling or onsite at a client and need my VMs with me. And since I can't find an external drive that has both eSATA and Ethernet ports.... a router that has an eSATA port would take care of this. I can find drives (or cases) that are eSATA + USB, USB + Ethernet, but I can't find an external drive (or case) that has both Ethernet and eSATA. And eSATA is enough faster when directly connected to my PC, that I'd rather not be relegated to USB.

Since there is no speed gain and an increase in the cost of the router, you don't find this in common units today.

Sorry if this doesn't help you but there are reasons for this to not happen.

I simply disagree with you. That YOU don't see a "reason" for it, does not mean that no one else could have a use for it. And whoever said they were looking for a "common" unit?

Your belief that there's no reason for it does not define the reality of those of us who would have used for it.

But given we have 3 speeds of SATA which all outstrip today's wifi speed, the makers may be hung up on which to offer.

Again, USB's transfer link speed is 480 megabit and for now well beyond wifi speeds.

Have you found this device yet?

I was not going to write but one could make one. Think about it.
