Wireless Router + USB storage device question.

[StrandedonEarth]

Ok, so, our house is running on Windoze laptops, no desktop PCs. Last year I received a DLink DIR-835 wireless router, with a USB port. This year, I received a WD MyBook 3TB external HDD, with the thought I would hook it to the router. No dice! The HDD works fine directly connected to a PC, but not the router. My research on the dlink forums has found that it's too big for the router to read. Apparently a lot of the DLink routers top out at 500GB-1TB. I haven't found any more recent info or updates on this issue.

Can anyone suggest a workaround for this? Failing that, any suggestions for an affordable wireless router with an USB 2.0 or 3.0 port that can share and stream from this HDD?

See if you can flash a firmware on your router that supports DLNA and drives larger than 1 TB. (A good place to start is DD-WRT.)
