I have a CAX30 so how do I determine which USB storage drives are compatible with ReadyShare?

I found the official article listing all the Netgear products and the drives they support, but there is no CAX30. I guess it must have a sub-designation that I haven't found yet, so any help to find it would be appreciated.

That list of routers and USB drives is hopelessly incomplete. The good news is that if a USB drive works with one router, it is likely to work with others, especially if they are in the same family of products.

Working on the basis that the CAX30 is sort of related to the RAX family, if a drive features there, it should be OK in your modem/router.

As all RAX routers seem to support the same drives, you could check out that list.

You'll notice that all the big brands are in there. If one of their drives is listed, then again something in the same family should be OK.

If you have a particular drive that you want to use, then see if anyone here has used it. 

If you do go down that road, try asking in the section for your modem/router rather then the Nighthawk Wi-Fi 5 (AC) Routers: covered here.

Here's where to ask:
