Connect a USB Device to the Modem Router

ReadySHARE lets you access and share a USB device that is connected to a USB port on
the modem router. (If your USB device uses special drivers, it is not compatible.) The USB
2.0 port is on the back panel of the modem router.
To connect a USB device:

1. Connect your USB storage device to the USB port on the back panel of the modem
router.
2. If your USB device uses a power supply, connect it.
You must use the power supply when you connect the USB device to the modem router.
When you connect the USB device to the USB port of the modem router, it might take up
to two minutes before the USB device is ready for sharing. By default, the USB device is
available to all computers on your local area network (LAN).
