Connect a USB storage device to the router

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