3.6 Connecting to a USB Device

You can connect a USB flash drive, portable hard disk drive, or USB printer to the router's USB port, as shown in the following figure. For details, see the help information on the web management page.

 Do not connect a computer to the router's USB port.

The router's USB port can supply a maximum current of 500 mA to power connected USB devices. If the current required by a portable hard disk drive (or other peripherals) connected to the router is higher than 500 mA, the router may fail to recognize the hard disk drive. In this case, use an auxiliary power supply for the hard disk drive. For more information, contact your service provider.

3.7Connecting the Router to a Power Outlet

Connect a compatible power adapter to the router's power port, and then plug the power adapter into a power outlet.

Using an incompatible power adapter may damage the router.
