External Storage on Orbi RBK50 Router
I have just purchased the Orbi AC3000 (RBK50) router and satelitte and was hoping to connect some external storage to the wireless network for movies, photos etc. My previous router was an Apple Air...
Real NAS devices work with Orbi that have LAN connections. Orbi doesn't support USB drives at this time. Not sure if it ever will.
You can check out some USB to LAN adapters to see if this would help connect the USB drive to a network LAN connection. I recommend finding a actual NAS system to connect for long term storage solutions and better flexibility for connections.
Such a High Cost device, should have basic capability of attaching any external storage drvie or USB drive to support/connect using Wi-Fi. I see many of other competitors router and modem has this capability.
I would really appreciate Netgear Team to provide a FIX for all existing Netgear ORBI customers, else you will certainly lose the attention and market soon.
