I have the same problem/question regarding USB file sharing. It worked great on my WNDR4300 so when I upgraded to the Orbi I was completely shocked to find it did not support the same functionality. However, I was told it was coming.

Hey,
do you know the current status of this question? It seems that in August 18, Netgear was planning to add this possibility to connect a USB-HardDrive to Router or Sattelite. Today I cannot find recent news.
Thank you for your help.

No information. You might contact NG support and ask about this.
