Not really broke. Eg. the BananaPi Router board comes in at about €75,
with 5 Gb interfaces (4 switched) and a 2.5" SATA connector, and runs a
minimally adapted Debian called Bananian. Add to that a small powered
USB hub, starting at about €10, and some cables, and your total should
be at around €100.

As for required reading:
* Samba
* autofs and/or udev to automagically export USB devices via Samba
Can't tell you what to do about the USB Hotspot, never used one of those.
