Connect a USB Storage Device to the Router
ReadySHARE lets you access and share USB storage devices that are connected to the
appropriate router port. (If your USB storage device uses special drivers, it is not
compatible.)
To connect a USB device:
1. Insert your USB storage device into a USB port on the router.
2.
If your USB storage device uses a power supply, connect it.
You must use the power supply when you connect the USB storage device to the
router.
When you connect the USB storage device to the router 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).
