Share a USB Drive on the Network

ReadySHARE lets you access and share a USB drive connected to
the router USB port. (If your USB drive has special drivers, it is not
compatible.)
¾ To access the USB drive from a Windows computer:
1. Insert your USB storage drive into the blue USB 3.0 port on the
router.
2. If your USB drive has a power supply, you must use it when you
connect the USB drive to the router.
When you connect the USB drive to the router USB port, it
might take up to two minutes before it is ready for sharing. By
default, the USB drive is available to all computers on your local
area network (LAN).
3. Select Start > Run.
4. Enter \\readyshare in the dialog box.
5. Click the OK button.
