Netgear ReadySHARE USB Storage Access User Manual

Once you have set up your router or gateway, you can connect most common USB 
storage devices

 

and share the contents with other users (both wired and wireless) 

on your network. (If your USB device requires special drivers, it will not be 
compatible.)

•

You can access your USB device 

as follows: 

On Windows systems, use any of these methods:
–  Select Start > Run and enter \\readyshare in the dialog box. 
    Click OK

.

–  Open Explorer or Safari and enter \\readyshare in the address bar.
–  Open My Network Places and enter \\readyshare in the address bar. 
On Mac systems, do this:  

1. Select Go > Connect to Server.

2. Enter smb://readyshare as the Server Address.

3. Click Connect.

The readyshareconnect.exe file (for Windows) is available to download here:

Note: If your USB device requires a power supply, you must use it when 

connecting your USB device to a NETGEAR router or gateway. It may take up to 2 
minutes before the USB drive is ready for sharing after it is connected to the router.
