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