USB cable until the installation software prompts you to do so.
To install the driver and cable the printer:
1. On each computer on your network that shares the USB printer, install the driver software for the USB
printer.
If the printer driver is not installed, contact the printer manufacturer.
2. Use a USB printer cable to connect the USB printer to one of the USB ports on the modem router.
Each side panel provides one USB 3.0 port.The left side panel contains USB port 1. The right side
panel contains USB port 2.
