I am not worried about the lack of extra ethernet ports, or internal storage as most content is moving to the cloud and off-site backup and video security is a best practice.

What do I find to be missing is a backup WAN, ideally 3G/LTE cellular modem via USB. This is important if you are setting, say, Dropcams for security while away from home -- in addition of backup power.

That's one thing I do like about Peplink/Pepwave routers, such as the Balance One or Pepwave SoHo -- I am curious to hear anyone's opinion on these devices. Granted, Peplink goes a level further with extra WANs to increase bandwidth and allow business continuity.

I assume Google may actually add this functionality on the USB port, and I think this would be more important than storage.
