USB Device Requirements

The router works with most USB-compliant external flash and hard drives. For the most up-to-date list of USB devices
that the router supports, visit kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/18985/~/readyshare-usb-drives-compatibility-list.
Some USB external hard drives and flash drives require you to load the drivers onto the computer before the computer
can access the USB device. Such USB devices do not work with the router.
The router supports the following file system types for full read/write access:
• FAT16
• FAT32
• NTFS
• NTFS with compression format enabled
• Ext2
• Ext3
• Ext4
• HFS
• HFS+

Connect a Storage Device to the Router

port. (If your USB device uses special drivers, it is not compatible.)
