Connecting the Router and the Host
To connect the router to the host, you need to enable the USB device port of the router, and then
connect the router to the host by using a USB cable physically. For the first time of connection, the
Windows operating system may ask whether you want to install the driver. Because the Windows XP
operating system supports the USB mass storage medium, you can use the automatic installation
function in the
Hardware Update Wizard
to search and install the hardware disk. After the installation,
open the
My Computer
folder and you can see the
Removable Disk
icon, and meantime, the LED of
the USB device port on the router is on, and then the router can be used as a USB mass storage
medium.
