Unfortunately no one can be told what fun_plug is - you have to see it for yourself.

If I want to transfer 1GB of files quickly to the DNS-323, without going over my network, can I simply copy the files onto a 1GB USB drive and the plug that directly into the DNS-323 and transfer that way? Or, is my only choice to go over the network?
Calculated time for transferring 1.20GB of files is now sitting at 4.5 hours.
... okay, now calculated time sitting at 1 day 7 hours.

If you install Debian, you can add a kernel module that allows USB drives to be plugged in. Otherwise, it can't be done.

A standard DNS-323 - NO - the USB port is for printers only. If you're willing to fiddle with linux and fun_plug, etc. maybe - for more info search this site.
Now - I can transfer a 3.20 GB file in under 4 minutes over a 1GB network and 8 minutes on a 100 mbps network - at 10 mbps, it's an estimated 52 minutes - so your 4.5 hours for 1.2 GB is extremely slow - you need to find out why and fix it.
The speed at which data is transferred across the network will be as fast as the slowest of the following three things - the speed of the source device, the speed of the network, and the speed of the destination device.
Based on my experience the DNS-323 (the destination device) is not your limiting factor, so look at either your network or your source device.

Well, I'm using one of the newer Linksys routers - the WRT54GX4, and I'm transferring files from my new Inspiron E1505 with internal Intel Pro 3945 802.11 a/b/g Wireless MINI Card. What the hell could be slowing me down?

Plug the laptop in to the router with an ethernet cable - with 802.11g wireless you have roughly 20/25 mbps maximum available to you, and depending on conditions it could be a lot less.

I've got to be wireless. What can I do (or purchase if necessary) to give me some blazin' transfer speeds over the network?

Bullshit. Just get Paul's usb-storage module and a fun-plug with busybox/telnet. Then telnet, insmod, cat /proc/partitions, mount, cp, umount, and you're done. Basic Linux knowledge is needed though.

Ah, interesting. I wasn't bullshitting though, I thought Debian was needed since the latest firmware.

Nope - I just did it with the usb-storage.ko and ntfs.ko via telnet/fun_plug to access my ntfs formatted seagate usb 100g ext drive that I move files back and forth with me when at work/friends etc.
1. install telnet/fun_plug
2. download the usb-storage.ko kernel module
both how-to's are on the wiki. Granted I know linux - but the how-to's will let a non linux user do this mod in maybe 10-20 min taking their time...

What's an affordable way to get gigabit speeds at home?
Offline
So, is a wireless N router + wireless N network card the absolute fastest option for home wireless? That gives me, what, 300Mbps max, or about 38MB/sec transfer speeds?
Offline
There's only one way to get gigabit speeds - buy a gigabit switch and run ethernet cable - CAT5e or preferably CAT6. Of course, the devices need to have gigabit ethernet interfaces. If it's just two devices, you can just run a cable between them.

Whatever the wireless specification is - you'll get about half of that - but only under IDEAL conditions, which I would guess you don't have, based on the fact that your 802.11g was giving you way less than 20 mbps.

So, basically you're saying the absolute best I can hope for is transfer speeds of 20MB/sec. That's horrible.

OK - it seems that the Wiki link to the usb-storage module is broken - can any one suggest an altenate source?
