But where is the USB socket?
Unless I'm going mad I do not have a USB socket on the router.

Why no USB port now? They are quite useful.

(It'll likely be in the cupboard as soon as I decide what one to go for though. I have a fairly complex network and without a decent web interface it's just too difficult to be bothered with.)

Anyone got a new non USB 582n router that is brave enough to take the case off to have a look

You are correct, it is the exact same board, we've just removed the components that support the USB port. The firmware has been changed so that it doesn't expect the port to be available.
The pads still exist on the board, they're just not populated with components. You'd be surprised how many products are like this, you find this everywhere, if you look closely at the TG582n board you'll see some empty pads where a serial port header can be soldered on (used during testing or if we need to do some crazy root cause analysis of a problem if the network interfaces are down).
If you look at the left side of the case you'll see the molding lines where we've changed the design of the side panel, there are two join lines running from the top to the bottom at the front and back of the side panel, this part of the mold needed to be changed. We added extra holes, removed the hole for the USB slot and removed the USB logo.

To be honest I haven't used mine. Does it allow for usb sticks or USB hard drives to be connected or just 3G sticks? Just curious
People may decide to buy their own router with the USB present if it gives something they want.
