RAX200 ReadyShare support for USB drives

I upgraded my R8000 router to the RAX200. I had been using an HFS+ formatted USB drive via ReadyShare with the R8000. When I attempted to replicate the setup on the RAX200 it did not work. I've tried two different drives and multiple different file systems and none of them work. 

 

FW version on the RAX200 is v1.0.2.8_1.0.45

 

Is ReadyShare just not supported on the RAX200?

    Hello rutabaga, 

     

    The RAX200 currently does not support ReadyShare USB.

      Is there a timeline for rollout or is this just not a feature that will ever be supported? It seems pretty odd that it's not supported considering 1.) it's listed in the user manual and 2.) this is your flagship consumer router. What else are the USB ports supopsed to be used for?

        Hi rutabaga, 

         

        We currently do not have an ETA or any further details on the RAX200 supporting this feature.
