The router supports both read and write for FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, and Linux file systems
(EXT2 and EXT3).
Note: Some USB external hard drives and flash drives require drivers be
loaded into the Windows computer before the Windows computer
can access the USB device. Such USB devices will not work with
the router.
