USB Drive Requirements
The modem router works with 1.0 and 1.1 (USB Full Speed) and 2.0 (USB High Speed)
standards. The approximate USB bus speeds are shown in the following table.
Bus
Speed/Second
USB 1.1
12 Mbits
USB 2.0
480 Mbits
Actual bus speeds can vary, depending on the CPU speed, memory, speed of the network,
and other variables. The modem router should work with USB 2.0-compliant or 1.1-compliant
external flash and hard drives. For the most up-to-date list of USB drives supported by the
modem router, go to
.
When selecting a USB device, bear in mind the following:
•
The USB port on the modem router can be used with one USB hard drive at a time. Do
not attempt to use a USB hub attached to the USB port.
•
According to the USB 2.0 specification, the maximum available power is 5V @ 0.5A. If a
USB device exceeds this requirement, it might not function or might function erratically.
Check the documentation for your USB device to be sure.
•
The modem router supports FAT, FAT32, NTFS (read only), and NTFS with compression
format enabled (read only).

purposes.

Insert your USB drive into the USB port on the modem router either directly or with a
USB cable.
Computers on your local area network (LAN) can access this USB drive using a Web
browser or Microsoft networking.
