A6210 to build a NAS interface
Hi, I want to transform an external HDD (USB 3.0 connectivity) into a NAS.
Also, I am the owner of a NETGEAR A6210 WiFi USB Adapter : is it possible to connect the latter to the HDD ?
How to proceed ? How to install required SW ?
Thanks in advance for any hint/help, Regards.

To most people, the term NAS refers to something that uses an ethernet connection. It does not refer to USB devices. I mention this to save you time on futile web searches.
Some routers and modem/routers have a USB socket that you can use to share a USB device on your local network. In Netgea's case the technology is known as Readyshare. But be careful to check that your USB devices are compatible with this technology.
