Monitoring your USB device

The ASUS Wireless Router provides one USB 3.0 and one USB 2.0 ports for connecting USB devices such as a USB storage device and USB printer, to allow you to monitor the working environment, share files, and printer with clients in your network.

NOTE: To use this feature, you need to plug a USB storage device, such as a USB hard disk or USB flash drive, to the USB 3.0/2.0 port on the rear panel of your wireless router. Ensure that the USB storage device is formatted and partitioned properly. Refer to the Plug-n-Share Disk Support List at http://event.asus.com/networks/disksupport

IMPORTANT! You first need to create a user account to allow other network clients to access the USB device. For more details, refer to the section Using AiDisk for sharing files in this user manual.
