hi,

i have a dir-862L router.
i would like to attach an external 4tb seagate usb drive to it. 
i realize this can't be done through the router usb port cause there is a 500gb to 1tb limit.

i read there might be a workaround using a USB to Ethernet converter, but i dont understand how that would help?

instead, Would a Network Attached Storage (NAS) Adapter like these work?

Link>Welcome!

• What Hardware version is your router? Look at sticker under the router case.
• Link>What Firmware version is currently loaded? Found on the routers web page under status.
• What region are you located?

I would pose that question to the Mfr of those products as they will have more detailed information on them...Let us know what they say.

Any status on this?
