Share a Storage Device Attached to the
Modem Router
This chapter describes how to access and manage a storage device attached to your modem router. ReadySHARE
lets you access and share a storage device, such as a USB storage device, connected to the router. (If your
storage device uses special drivers, it is not compatible.)
The USB port on the modem router can be used only to connect USB storage devices such
as flash drives or hard drives or a printer. Do not connect computers, USB modems, CD
drives, or DVD drives to the modem router USB port.
