    Which router are you using? FWG114p isn't a router model. It s a firewall.

     

    You can't connect to the network with a web browser and the graphical user interface with USB. It has to be a wired or wireless network.

     

    Wired is best, but wifi can also work. You just have to connect to the wifi network and then aim the browser at those IP addresses.

     

    The USB in a router is there for storage or for a printer.

     


    Just another user with time on their hands.

      Hello many thanks for your reply it now makes sense I am trying to connect a printer to the network but cannot hard wire it due to lay out of the walls I have a few old routers available so I should be able to figure it out.
