    Well boo… I initially thought “done” meant that it had been enabled! But I think your post just meant that you cross-posted this feature request in another thread. Hohum. 😔

    This would be really nice, for sure!

      Just FYI, since Orbi AC series has been out for years now and development has problably slowed, Highly doubtful that NG will implement any new features. Most new new features, if NG comes up with them are reserved for newer model systems. And again, since NG has not implemented any USB features in newer models, we can assume that NG isn't going to support any USB or ReadyCloud features on Orbi systems. Even NG hasn't kept up with this feature on there Nighthawk routers either and seems to be moving away from any USB media support. So if you need USB or cloud storage solutions, it would be advised to look else where for these feature needs.
