Nighthawk AX12 AX6000 WiFi Router (RAX120)

Hi, I tried plugging a SanDisk Extreme PRO 2TB Portable NVMe SSD into the USB2 port of the Nighthawk AX12 AX6000 12-Stream WiFi Router, but it doesn't seem to be detected. Can you tell me if it is compatible?

THANKS

 

Bonjour, j ai essayé de brancher un Disque SSD NVMe portable SanDisk Extreme PRO 2 To sur le port USB2 du Routeur Wifi Nighthawk AX12 AX6000 12 flux, mais il n a pas l air d être détecter.

    Model number of the Netgear? AX6000 is not a unique Netgear model number. Many devices come with the AC/AX tag, but it is essentially a label that Netgear, and others, attach to hardware to describe wifi speeds.

     

    Look at the label on the device for the Model Number. And, if there is one, include the "V" bit to show the hardware version. If there is no V number, then you have V1. Then check here:

    Not complete, and probably out of date, but a guide.

     

    I have seen no reports of NVMe drives playing nicely with ReadySHARE. Netgear's technology hasn't changed much, if at all, over the years. It has been left behind by newer systems.
