5. Connecting a USB storage medium to the network

This device allows you to make a USB storage medium available to the entire network. First, connect the USB storage medium 
to a USB port on the router. 
We recommend using USB port 1 for the storage medium. Next connect the router and, if necessary, the storage medium to the 
mains.

Storage Status

 menu item. Here you can view 

information, such as size, fi le system and used and free storage space. If the connected storage medium is not listed in this

could be another reason. Once the storage medium has been connected, it has to be formatted to the FAT fi le system before it 
can be used.
