2. Can you use it as you would a regular share?
3. can you write to it?.
4. Can you use it with Sage?

I have (had) it on my DIR-655. Unfortunately it (Share-Port) stopped working a few months ago; the rest of the router still works great. When I first bought the router Share-Port wasn't even out; it was added after that (I bought the router at Circuit City!). It doesn't work quite like a regular share. Only one client can access it at a time. It creates a virtual USB Port that acts very similar to a regular port (yes, you can write to it). I think I tried mine once and found it could only do one stream at a time. The new ones may be fast enough to do more (especially if it is a USB3).

I am looking into getting this router ... I could get a great deal on NewEgg. My present router is really old.
Also. It according to D-Link a usb hub can be used.

Can a USB hub be used to share multiple USB device´s using SharePort?
Yes, A USB hub can be added to the USB SharePort on the router to expand the amount of USB device shared using SharePort.
