To access the USB device from a Mac:
1. Connect a USB device to a USB port on the router.
NETGEAR recommends you use the blue USB 3.0 port on the
router to get the best USB device access speed.
If your USB device has a power supply, you must use it when
you connect the USB device to the router.
When you connect the USB device to the router's USB port, it
might take up to two minutes before it is ready for sharing. By
default, the USB device is available to all computers on your
local area network (LAN).
2. On a Mac that is connected to the network, launch Finder and
select Go > Connect to Server.
3. Enter the smb://readyshare in the Server Address field.
4. Click the Connect button.
5. When prompted, select the Guest radio button.
If you set up access control on the router and you allowed your
Mac to access the network, select the Registered User radio
button and enter admin for the name and password for the
password. For more information about access control, see the
user manual, which is available online at
