Connect USB drive to Netgear C3700
I have a Netgear C3700 cable modem and wireless router. I have attempted to connect two differnt USB storage devices unsuccessfully. I am using a Windows 7 laptop connected wirelessly to the network....
Can you see files shared by other computers? If not, you may have to make sure that Network discovery is enabled on Windows.
Other than that, try doing a factory reset. Netgear's USB Storage feature seems to have lots of issues. Personally, I use a standalone NAS.
I have two computers on the WiFi network and can share files between the computers. However, I cannot see either of my USB drives from either computer.
Try rebooting the router while the USB drive is plugged in. I think I read that that may have worked for someone.
Try reformatting the USB drive.
If still no luck, then someone more experienced than me will need to step in.
