Using External USB Storage

Your router's USB port can be used to share files through the network when a USB
storage device is connected on the back USB port. The router supports both FTP and
SAMBA (SMB) filing sharing protocols.
Note: For security purposes, the USB SMB and FTP settings on your router are disabled
by default. You will need to enable these settings in orders to allow access to your USB
storage devices.
Note: For security purposes, the default USB SMB and FTP admin password is configured
to the same predefined password used to log into your router management page.
