jackdashack Posted June 25, 2013 CID Share Posted June 25, 2013 When I really need answers I come to the place where the answers are always coherent and the guys are always knowledgeable and friendly and that's Testmy.net I switched back to Verizon from Comcast a few weeks back. It's nice to be back to some sanity. Sorry, I know others might have had a great experience with Comcast but it was too much drama for me. But back to Verizon they sent me a new D-Link Wireless ADSL2+ Router, also known as the DSL2750B. It has a USB port in the back for a drive all the devices on wireless system can access. If anyone is familiar with this type of option on any of their routers do you think it's set up to handle an external USB Hard drive or just a Thumb Drive? Thanks, that's it! Appreciate any input as always. Jack ":-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution jackdashack Posted June 25, 2013 Author Solution CID Share Posted June 25, 2013 Actually I found the manual online and it seems to be pretty clear on this.

Pgoodwin1 Posted June 25, 2013 CID Share Posted June 25, 2013 I have an Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station wireless router and it has the USB port on it. The Mac OS recognized it right away, and I don't know why Windows wouldn't either in this day and age. It's pretty handy. I bought a 2 TB and partitioned it into 2 x 1 TB drives, one for me, and one for the wife. Both partitions showed up fine. jackdashack and CA3LE 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
