Can I put a thumb drive with music on the Orbi
I have some wifi definitive technology speakers. I had a night hawk ac1900 and I put a thumb drive into the router USB slot and I was able to access the music files on my difinitive tech. Apps.
It didn't work when I put it into the Orbi USB drive. Why can I not access my music files?

Hello JDB190
Orbi only supports printers via the usb port at this time.

Yes,
I am using the standard Firmware V1.12.0.18 and I currently have music and video files on a 16GB PNY thumb drive which is attached to my Orbi router.
Using VLC Local Network connections I can select READYSHARE from the options which then displays USB_Storage which in turn displays the loaded folders/files.
Both videos and music play perfectly in VLC.
I have tried various other USB drives but so far only the PNY drive has worked for me.
- Thank you for your response but does it matter if it is a 2.0. Or a 3.0 thumb drive? Thank you for your help.
