ReadySHARE Access
After installation and setup, you can insert a USB storage device into
the USB port on the router and share the contents with other network
users. (If your USB device has special drivers, it is not compatible.)
Note:
If your USB device requires a power supply, you must use it
when connecting your USB device to a NETGEAR router or gateway.
It might take up to 2 minutes before the USB drive is ready for sharing
after it is connected to the router.
