So, I logged into my Actiontec after a LONG time of not ever going into it (it has just been working...), and noticed the firmware had been updated.
Going into "Advanced Setup" now gives a warning "You are entering the advanced
configuration for your gateway. Changes could impact your service" with a button to continue. Neat, don't remember this.
All the typical settings...but there's one named "Storage Service", apparently for USB keys to be plugged into the back of the V1000H. So for giggles, plugged a 32GB one in...and it was discovered...
Volumename FileSystem Total Space Used Space
usb1_1 ntfs 30664 21528
Neat! Now, can I mount this?
Windows explorer, map network drive, enter \\192.168.1.254 into the box, and clicked browse.
Yup, it's there as usb1_1. And I can mount it, delete from the usb, and write to it.
So, when did they add this functionality? Or has it always been there and I've just never seen it? I thought they had it locked completely down.
