I am soon going to move to ACT broadband and need to buy a router.

I thought I'd get this: TP-LINK TL-WR740N 150Mbps Wireless without Modem Router - TP-LINK: Flipkart.com

However, since I am investing in a router anyway, thought I could spend a little to hook up my hard disk to the router for sharing. What's the cheapest possible router than can do this trick?

I am going to use my Wi-Fi connection to connect to my XBOX, TV, Phone and Laptop. Should have a decent range (20 meters)

Any suggestions?
 
Better invest in a router that has GB lan and supports dd-wrt, and WiFi should atleast be up to 300 Mbps.
 
^^Yep get one with 300 Mbps, 5 GHz, dual antenna, and gigabit Ethernet
There are many routers that support HDD/USB storage sharing
One of the famous models is Asus RT-N13U B1, but do remember the speed would be around 2-2.5 Mbps only so don't except speedy transfer or streaming
 
If you want a ready made solution, you can look at my for sale thread

Buy any gigabit router with N300 speeds (ideally) and spend money to pickup a Seagate Go Flex Home. Attach any internal SATA HDD to the NAS.
