 ¾ To access the USB storage device from a Mac: 
1.  Connect your USB storage device to the USB port on the 
router.
If your USB storage device uses a power supply, you must 
connect its power supply.
When you connect the USB storage device to the router’s USB 
port, it might take up to two minutes before it is ready for 
sharing. By default, the USB storage device is available to all 
computers on your local area network (LAN).
2.  On a Mac that is connected to the network, launch Finder and 
select Go > Connect to Server.
The Connect to server screen displays.
3.  Enter the smb://readyshare in the Server Address field and 
click the Connect button.
4.  When prompted, select the Guest radio button.
If you set up access control on the router and you allowed your 
Mac to access the network, select the Registered User radio 
button and enter admin for the name and password for the 
password. For more information about access control, see the 
user manual, which is available online at  
http://downloadcenter.netgear.com or through a link in the 
router’s user interface.
5.  Click the Connect button.
A window displays the files and folders on the device.
