Adding a Drive
You can share a USB hard drive or flash drive to your network via your Router’s USB port. Once connected, you can share files and music with other computers and devices within your network.

You can manually check the status of your shared drive by visiting the USB Print and Storage Manager. If you have difficulty sharing a drive on your network, please see the “Troubleshooting” section of this manual.
