Title: USB Port
Post by: Major Clucker on April 02, 2008, 02:05:26 PM

Okay, I have a USB port on my router... Is there any way that I can turn my 240gb drive into a network drive that everybody on my network can access?  If not, please tell me what in the hell it's there for.. Thanks in advance!

Did you look at the manual ???? It says to connect a flash drive to configure the wireless settings using WCN.

I would like a better answer than that.

 I read you exactly what the manual says!

Steady now.

The USB port is for Windows Connect Now, and can't be used for anything else.

With WCN, you can use a USB memory stick to transfer wireless settings from the router to PCs. Nobody uses it.

You aren't going to get a better answer.  You are not able to use it as a standard USB port, and D-Link as no plans to change it.

This thread is being locked.
The USB port is for WCN ONLY!
You can not attach printers and NAS devices to the router directly.
