USB Drive Requirements

The modem router works with most USB-compliant external flash and hard drives. For the most up-to-date list of USB drives that the modem router supports, visit http://kbserver.netgear.com/readyshare.

•FAT16, FAT32

•NTFS

•NTFS with compression format enabled

•Ext2, Ext3, Ext4
