  • I've noticed that is has been several hours and no one has responded.

     

    • If the ReadyNAS is a USB device, the answer is "no".
      Netgear has supported USB storage on the Nighthawk line of products for years, and the expectation was that this capability would be carried over to the Orbi line of products.
      Alas, this has not happened, and will never happen.
      Whereas the original Orbi from 2016 included a USB2.0 port, the newer version of the same product has no USB port at all.
      A BIG disappointment to many users.
    • Setting up a cron job on the stock Orbi firmware is beyond the capabilities of most of us.
      If you are already capable of doing so, you are sort of "out front".
