Anybody know of any decent products that provide both of these things in one handy and cheap package?

you could use something like this
or you could roll your own using an old computer and Linux
....bloody hell that's a bit expensive- and wanted to avoid the old extra computer running - maybe i'll just stick with my seperate modem and get a network drive.....
an older p3 era computer with a few sata hard drives would not use more than a light bulb and would also allow you to do more and to add more stuff on.
older coppermine p3's come in at a shade over £30 on ebay and cheaper sata controller dont cost much. also sata drive can spin down when not in use![]()
...well, as my network consists of my computer, my girlfriend's computer and a router - and we want some NAS - thought it would be good to get them all in one. Admittedly I should have titled the thread router/network storage - but hey, sometimes I'm a bit spur of the moment....![]()

I don't know of any combined devices, ideally the two should be kept separate anyway because they do two completely different things, any combined devices are likely to be a potential security risk, keeping the two physically separate just makes sense. However I did do this before when I was using cable internet I used my storage server as a router, popped an extra NIC in, setup the routing and firewall tables and it did work well.
yeah, i wondered about the security thing, but i thought they could be completely separate devices working through the same power supply and in the same case. I seem to be collecting power cables...!
Also - i did the same router/server thing in my old shared house and it completely did the trick, just wanted to avoid having an entire computer doing this (more wires/cables etc. etc.) - I suppose you can't have everything![]()
