Stop wasting your Wi-Fi router's USB port — try this instead
Next to the row of WAN and LAN ports on the back of most routers, you'll often find a USB port. Unless you've read through your router's manual or experimented yourself, you may not know what it's capable of.
AI Summary
Most routers include a USB port alongside the WAN and LAN connectors on the back panel. That port can serve as a networked drive by sharing a connected USB storage device across the local network. It also supports a backup internet connection, allowing the router to switch to the USB‑attached modem if the primary ISP service fails. These functions are often unknown without consulting the router’s manual or testing the port directly.
