Using External USB Storage

storage device is connected on the back USB port. The router supports both FTP and
SAMBA (SMB) filing sharing protocols.
Note: For security purposes, the USB SMB and FTP settings on your router are disabled
by default. You will need to enable these settings in orders to allow access to your USB
storage devices.

to the same predefined password used to log into your router management page.
