USB Drive Requirements

The extender works with most USB-compliant external flash and hard drives. For the most
up-to-date list of USB drives that the extender supports, visit

Some USB external hard drives and flash drives require you to load the drivers onto the
computer before the computer can access the USB device. Such USB devices do not work
with the extender.
The extender supports the following file system types for full read and write access:
• FAT16, FAT32
• NTFS
• NTFS with compression format enabled
• Ext2, Ext3, and Ext4
• HFS
• HFS+
Note: Do not connect computers, USB modems, CD drives, or DVD drives
to the extender USB port.

Access a USB Drive on the Network

ReadySHARE lets you access and share a USB drive connected to the extender USB port.
(If your USB drive has special drivers, it is not compatible.)

To connect a USB drive:
1. Insert your USB storage drive into the USB 3.0 port on the front of the extender.
2. If your USB drive has a power supply, you must use it when you connect the USB drive to
the extender.
When you connect the USB drive to the extender 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).


1. Select Go > Connect to Server.
2. In the Server Address field, type smb://readyshare as the server address.
