Connect a USB storage device to the access

point/router

ReadySHARE lets you access and share a USB storage device that is connected to the
USB port on the access point/router. (If your USB storage device uses special drivers, it
is not compatible.)
To connect a USB storage device:
1. Insert your USB storage device into the USB port on the access point/router.
2. If your USB storage device uses a power supply, connect it.
You must use the power supply when you connect the USB storage device to the
access point/router.
When you connect the USB storage device to the USB port, it might take up to two
minutes before it is ready for sharing. By default, the USB storage device is available
to all computers and mobile on the access point/router network.
