Ready Share for USB Hard Drives
I relaced my Netgear R6300 with the Orbi RBR50 WiFi System with 2 Satelites. I have an external USB Hard Drive attached to my R6300 through Ready Share as a Network Drive. Worked great. Why can't I do this with Orbi, a much better system? When will it be available?

I believe USB drive support wasn't quite implemented on the Orbi systems.
Some say FAT32 formatted drives have worked for some.
- Thanks for the reply! That’s a bummer. I would have expected it to work just as the R6300 did. It was great. Guess I’ll ha e to hook it up to a PC and share it. Not preferred for performance, but at least accessible.
