    Are you having trouble setting up the WNDR3700? If so I can walk you through the steps.

    Did anyone notice the lack of instructions when they bought this router or was it just me that didn’t have any?

    If it was me I would attach the printer to a stationary computer and set up network printer sharing through windows/mac. Or buy a network printer adapter to connect it through a LAN port. The only routers I have seen that support both Hard Drive AND Printer support via USB are Belkin and ASUS.

    @csourlis Yes, and you can also set a password restriction on the read and/or write ability through the internet access. If you set passwords on both then no one will even be able to see the content of the drive without the password access, it’s pretty cool.

    @oconano I’m 99% sure that would work since this router has it’s own processor that will read and detect the latest USB 2.0 devices. I’ve plugged multiple usb hard drives/thumb drives including a 350 gb drive into the router and they have all came up. I have not seen any limit to size, and it supports FAT32 and NTFS formatted drives (though FAT32 is recognized by more devices I have ran through my network via the built in media server) download the latest firmware and you should have no problems

    I have a 750 GB internal HD that I have never opened. Does anyone know if I buy a docking station with a USB interface if that will work as the storage device? Or Do I need a flash drive?
    ~Thanks

    I have one these myself, it works really well and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for the best router on the market.

    Yes, you can write and read both from over the Internet.

    Awesome! I thought this router had this feature but I wasn’t sure… now that I know it does I am definitely going to buy! Thanks.

    Well, I’ve just rewatched the video and…I must confess, I do not remember why I did expresses that opinion. In fact the video is really helpful to those who are looking for their storage solution.
    Keep going!
    Ciao,

    When you use a usb hard drive from the ready share, will you be able to wright to the drive from a computer over the internet?

    A USB printer will not work when connected to the USB port of WNDR3700. It is meant for USB flash drives and hard drives.

    Please call NETGEAR technical support for more information.

    I just bought this router and I am having a hard time connecting my usb printer to it so I can share my printer throughout my network. Does anyone know how to do this with this router?

    Has anyone tried ReadyDLNA with the WNDR3700, Seagate 2T USB hard drive, straming to a Samsung BD-P3600? I installed and configured the router but immediately had problems. (1) Signal strength very low even in the same room (because it’s laying down?), (2) Shared folder on desktop cannot be seen (worked fine on old NG router), (3) Samsung BR found Readyshare but reported “could not find shared folder”. I could see the folders on HD and saw the readyshare index.
    Called NG support and was told WNDR3700 was not compatible with Seagate HD for Readyshare.

    Well, I don’t know if that’s going to work for me, but definitely worked for you! :) Excellent post!
