I have a USB 3.0 drive connected to my xr500 router. It works perfectly on my home network. I need to eject it, do a quick format on it, and reconnect it. When I connected it the first time, I had to create one folder on it. It was called USB. My question is ... after formatting in on a PC and creating the USB folder, will it simply need to be reconnected to the router and then work as it does right now, or will I have to do all the GUI setup again? Thank you in advance.
I was afraid of that. I have only done it the one time ... and even that was with tech support on the phone. I am not sure I remember exactly how. I guess I will have to find something in the user guide or online. If you can refer me to a tutorial .. that would be great. Thank you for the reply, and I will close thread as solved on your next reply. Thank you again.
You might be okay if you recreated the USB folder. Setup would depend on which USB feature you're using. I don't have any guides specifically, I'm not too familiar with the feature as it's a Netgear own feature
I will have to just pull the trigger and see what happens. It may come back to me. Oddly, . I found a 'help' item that said simply plug in the drive and wait. Then it asked me if this was helpful.
Anyway ... thank you both for your time and attention.
