USB Application

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.

•  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 or NTFS.

•  Before you physically disconnect a USB device from the router, safely remove it to avoid data damage: Go 

to

Go to 

Computer

 > 

Network

, then click the Media Server Name
