AC2350 Nighthawk X4 Smart WiFi Router (USB 3.0 Backwards Compatibility for USB 2.0 Printers

Dear Sir,

We are looking forward to buy the AC2350 Nighthawk X4 Smart WiFi Router 802.11ac Dual Band Gigabit Model number version: R7500 , but wanted to  know if the USB 3.0 ports are backwards compatible to USB 2.0 as we wanted to use a HP LaserJet M1005 Multifunction Printer(CB376A)  attached as network printing device in the WINDOWS 7 OS.

Kindly advise us on the same at earliest. Thanks and Regards.

  • Please reconsider your purchase decision and, if set on Netgear equipment, look at models other than the R7500.

     

    The product is "abandonware" at this point.
