Attaching hard drive to Panoramic WiFi Gateway.
What are the best options to attach an external hard drive to the Panoramic Gateway for home network access?
Forum Discussion
Oh, I meant a USB port to connect an external hard drive...not a thumb drive.
OP could purchase a complete external drive and connect to the USB port of the router or if OP has a spare or unused HDD (SATA), a hard-drive enclosure would be best.
I'm not promoting or endorsing (not that I'd matter), but Sabrent and Mediasonic have great features for enclosures.
That means buying a new router, USB enclosure for the HDD, and a HDD. The WD NAS comes with a 4TB HDD for 269$. I would say that's cheaper then upgrading to a new router(along with everything else you would need to buy) and still supports wireless TV boxes. Even if not, it's still a alternative to USB and worthy of mention IMO.
My suggestions would be a NAS, connected via ethernet.
My option would only be good if OP has a spare HDD (2.5 or 3.5). I wouldn't recommend purchasing an HDD.
My approach is just an external hard-drive shared from the router.
Yes, new router, if Pano doesn't support an active USB port. An external HDD enclosure is less than $30. Spare HDD would cost nothing.
pano doesn't have usb
