Router doesn't recognize external USB hard drive on my PC or MAC
My old setup was an Airport Extreme and with that I could plug in a USB external hard drive and be able to see and mount that drive on my Mac Laptop. I never could see the drives on my PC.
Now with the ORBI I am unable to see and/or mount the external drives on my MAC desktop or on my PC.
Does anyone have a solution to the problem? Or am I SOL?
Thanks in advance.....

This is a frequently requested feature (check the forums). The USB port only supports printers right now

Are there any plans for Netgear to make the USB port into something than just supporting printers?
