Netgear Readyshare Question

If I was to connect an external hard drive to my Netgear X4S router, would it be possible to encrypt that drive?

It would be a great if I am protect my data just if the drive was stolen.

    Hello pikaokras,

     

    I understand that you would like to encrypt your external hard drive for additional security protection using ReadySHARE. 

     

    However, encryption through ReadySHARE is not supported.

     

     

    Best,

    Kevin
