    Thank you. that confirms that I should be able to have 2 devices ( a printer and storage) 

    My device is not letting me do that.

Thanks, that's exactly what I'm trying to do. 

I want to use 1 USB port for USB storage Device and the other USB for a printer.

as soon as I connect the USB storage the USB printer stops working. 

I'm not able to access neither if I have both of them plugged in at the same time.

What happens when you try?

 

Have you set up ReadySHARE for printers and storage?

 

I'm afraid I don't know how we are supposed to interpret that image.

    Dude. You come across as a troll.

     

    save your time just typing non-sense.

     

    It's simple question.

     

    Does the C7100V support 2 USB different devices? 

    1 USB for Printer

    1 USB for Storage 

     

    for some reason, I can only use 1 at a time. Netgear USB Control Center doesn't show the printer when the USB storage is connected. The printer starts to work when USB storage is removed and unmounted.
