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 or eSATA storage device connected to the modem router. (If your storage device uses
special drivers, it is not compatible.)
You can use a 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
a modem router USB port.
