How can I connect an external hard drive to Orbi Router RBR 50 via USB?
I would like to connect an external hard drive via USB to the Orbi RBR50 router to back up a macbook pro via time machine. how can i get USB port to work?
Hi All,
I have checked this with the team. Orbi has not been updated to use Readyshare features as of right now it only officially supports Readyshare print for printers via the USB.

Welcome to NETGEAR Community!
ReadyShare feature for Orbi only officially suppprts ReadyShare print for printers via the USB. However, there are few users who mentioned that their USB HDD were detected by the router. Please allow me to check this first and I will get back to you.
