“Connecting to my network Can I connect this via the USB port to my router.”

• Most of the time this will work with being connected to a router. That is if the router is designed for an external drive. Some configuration may be required. Please review the documentation that came with your router or look the documentation up online if you do not still have the original docs.

• This depends on your router. If your router supports an external USB drive and will push enough power to the USB port to power this drive, then this drive will work fine.
