Access A Usb Device On The Network - NETGEAR R8000 Manual

Access a USB Device on the Network

ReadySHARE lets you access and share a USB storage device connected
to the router's USB ports. (If your USB device uses special drivers, it is not
compatible.)
¾ To access the USB storage device from a Windows
computer:
1. Connect your USB storage device to a USB port on the router.
To get the best USB device access speed, use the blue USB 3.0 port
on the router. It might take up to two minutes before the USB storage
device is ready for sharing.
2. On a Windows computer that is connected to the network, select
Start > Run, enter \\readyshare in the dialog box, and click the OK
button.
A window displays the files and folders on the device.
