Offline Download
With Offline Download enabled, the router can download files without keeping your
computer powered on all the time.
Follow the steps below to add offline download tasks:
1. Insert your USB storage device into the router's USB port directly or using a USB
cable. Wait several seconds until the USB LED becomes solid on.
Tips:
• If you use USB hubs, make sure no more than 4 devices are connected to the router.
• If the USB storage device requires using bundled external power, make sure the external power has been connected.
• If you use a USB hard drive, make sure its file system is FAT32, exFat, NTFS or HFS+.
• Before you physically disconnect a USB device from the router, safely remove it to avoid data damage: Go to
