This device does not have a USB port, so you wouldn't have that part of it, but otherwise it would work the same as your existing router.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You do connect the RJ45 into the Google WiFi unit, but there is no USB port to connect your hard drive into on the Google Wifi router.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This device does not have a port for a USB connection, so sadly no it will not work this way. It will however blow away a N Wireless router being that it is AC. Have you considered: Getting a unmanaged switch 10/100/1000 (Like $25 normally) and using that? Then connect this to the switch?
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can definitely do the number one option which is Plug in your RJ45 into the router, but this type of router doesn't have a USB connection to access remotely a hard drive like you have it already. But I do guarantee you that the Google wifi device will be easier to work with and has amazing signal as well.
