Share a Storage Device
This chapter describes how to access and manage a storage device attached to your modem router.
ReadySHARE lets you access and share a USB storage device connected to the modem router. (If your
storage device uses special drivers, it is not compatible.)
You can use the USB port on the modem router only to connect a USB storage device such
as a flash drive or hard drive or a printer. Do not connect a computer, USB modem, CD
drive, or DVD drive to the modem router USB port.
