10 months agoIt depends on the router and what that USB port can be used for…
on some, it may be just for printers.
If you need a NAS, you are best served with going to something from Synology, etc.
Even if you only have 100 Mbps internet, you still want to make sure your router and switches are 1 Gbps…
it will give you enough overhead in the connections, especially if you still want to transfer data from one device to another on your network.
