Can ORBI RBK43 support readyshare?

I am replacing Nighthawk R7000 that I was having wireless coverage issues with.  One feature of the R7000 that I used was Readyshare so that I could use my external harddrive for backups.  Does the ORBI have Readyshare?  If not, how would I connect USB external harddrive to network?

According to Netgear Genie App, it does not.  Any suggestions on how to network my external USB drive like I had with Readyshare on Nighthawk R7000?

You could use a Raspberry Pi to host your shared USB drive.

I am using Orbi RBK53, it dont support Ready Share, and even the USB is USB2.0, speed quite low. Ready Share is quite useful sometimes, hope Orbi team can work on it.

I've been using Readyshare to access an old Samsung laser printer attached to one of my satellites. It seems to work just fine with both Win7 and XP computers on my network.

My printer support ethernet so not a problem. but I usually use Readyshare as a NAS filesystem, Download or upload from the 1TB harddrive connected with my Netgear router before usint ORBI.

pls refer R7000 Readyshare confirguation page, it not only support printer share also FTP mode and other..
