This chapter describes how to access and configure a USB storage drive attached to your router.
The USB port 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.
Note: NETGEAR recommends that you connect a USB storage device to
the USB 3.0-Storage port and connect a printer to the USB 2.0-Printer
port.
