RN10200 -- unable to connect a PC to USB port
dear, I'm not able to connet the NAS-RN10200 to a PC by means of a USB. it does not work neither on front nor on rear usb port provided by the NAS.
PC (both win 7 and win 10) does not "see" the connected device
thanks

thanks a lot for your promptly reply.
NAS 100% correctly works, through wired ethernet or wifi
I was only wondering to be able to upload data without overload the network (and maybe faster)

Correct - that doesn't work. USB connects PCs to peripherals, not PCs to each other - and the NAS is a specialized PC in it's own right (though it doesn't run Windows). Those USB ports on the RN102 are for connecting USB drives for NAS backup, and they also allow connecting an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) so the NAS will turn off when the UPS battery drains.
NAS" means "Network Attached Storage". You access the NAS over your home network (wired ethernet or wifi).
Were you able to complete the NAS setup using your web browser?

There would be nice to have a dedicated USB 3 port for that. Maybe you should post it as a suggestion in the Idea Exchange for ReadyNAS
