To access the USB device from a Mac:
1. Connect your USB device to a USB port on the router.
NETGEAR recommends you use the blue USB 3.0 port on the router to get the best USB
device access speed.
If your USB device has a power supply, you must use it when you connect the USB
device to the router.
When you connect the USB device to the router’s USB port, it might take up to two
minutes before it is ready for sharing. By default, the USB drive is available to all
computers on your local area network (LAN).

Server.

If you set up access control on the router and you allowed your Mac to access the
network, select the Registered User radio button and enter admin for the name and
password for the password. For more information about access control, see
