A couple of questions regarding the Technicolor TG582n

[#1]

Now from what I can gather with the USB port on the Technicolor TG582n router, you can use this as a back up connection with a 3G dongle (is this right?).  Also can you use the USB port with a USB memory stick and wireless storage?

With some 3g dongles yes, see here for some setup details http://wiki.aa.org.uk/index.php/TG582N#3G_setup ( and the further notes links ). It doesn't do an automatic failover though , you need to manually connect

Yes , as long as its formatted FAT32 ( or plain FAT ).
The current PlusNet supplied ADSL routers don't have a USB port though. Some FTTC ones may still have USB , not sure...

Yes it has a USB port.  Also should have said it is the FTTC router.

I don't have a USB port on my tg582n. Am I missing out on any features?
for some reason, my Lg tv finds teh Router, but seems to think there are 3 folders in there: Music; Video; and Pictures!! God know here it is getting that from. I thought possibly froma  USB that may bee plugged in, but realised that it doesn't have one!

The USB port is present only on the Fibre version of the TG582n.
