guys, noob question here. i'm plan to share/stream movies, photos, etc inside my house for my lappy and phone. at first i look at WD Book Live (about rm400++) and also Dlink DNS-320 (rm900 with 2x2tb disk)..

but i noticed dlink wireless ac (e.g: dir 820) also can do the same things. what i need to do, just plug the external disk through USB and i can share all my files through the network.

please advise...

Dlink DIR-820 is totally different from DNS-320.
DIR-820 is a wireless router, provide USB storage capability but the limit is the USB speed, possibly the best is only USB2.
DNS-320 is pure NAS capability, all things about NAS can do beside just sharing.
If you only needs to access the files through USB, does not mind the speed, then you can opt for the DIR-820 to access your USB storage. NAS can do more just file sharing, you can read through the capabilities by Google search. (Not to spoon feed but I'm kinda lazy to list it out)

thanks for clarification. so if i just want to share/stream documents (photos/videos) between one laptop, two smartphone it's better just take wireless router with usb port right.
it's mean dir-820 equivalent/similar with airport extreme or WD Mybook Live right...
