NETGEAR Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1310
Note: Because the USB port on the router is used for connecting the
broadband mobile modem cable, you are not able to use the USB
port for both a ReadyShare storage and a broadband mobile
Internet connection at the same time even when using a USB hub to
fan out the USB port.

USB Drive Requirements
The router works with 1.0 and 1.1 (USB full speed) and 2.0 (USB high speed) standards. The
approximate USB bus speeds are shown in the following table.
Bus Speed/Second
USB 1.1 12 Mbits
USB 2.0 480 Mbits
Actual bus speeds can vary, depending on the CPU speed, memory, speed of the network,
and other variables. The router should work with USB 2.0-compliant or 1.1-compliant
external flash and hard drives. For the most up-to-date list of USB drives supported by the
router, go to http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/12345.
When selecting a USB device, bear in mind the following:
• The USB port on the router can be used with one USB hard drive at a time. Do not
attempt to use a USB hub attached to the USB port.
• According to the USB 2.0 specification, the maximum available power is 5V at 0.5A.
Some USB devices might exceed this requirement, in which case the device might not
function or might function erratically. Check the documentation for your USB device to be
sure.
• The router supports FAT, FAT32, NTFS, and Linux file systems.
