Using an External USB Drive
You may want to use one or both of the USB ports for attaching a USB drive. You can
attach most USB drives, including a USB flash drive or an external USB hard drive, to
either USB port on your Cable Modem/Router. You can then use the drive as a media
server for devices such as a TV, PC, Tablet, Smartphone, Xbox 360, Xbox One, or
Playstation 3, and as shared memory (Network Addressed Storage, or NAS0 for other
devices on your network.
Installing a USB Drive
To connect a USB drive to your Cable Modem/Router:
1
Insert your USB storage drive into either of the two USB ports.
2
If your USB drive uses a power supply, you must use that when you connect the USB
drive to the Cable Modem/Router.
When you plug in the USB drive to the Cable Modem/Router, it can take up to two
minutes before it is ready for sharing. By default, the USB drive is available to all
computers on your network.
