How To Share USB Devices On Wireless Network?
How many USB devices do you have? 2, 4, or more? Wished you could access those devices through you home wireless network instead of plugging in and out every time you want to use it. So here is the way to share your USB devices on home wireless network. You can share devices like external hard drives, printer, usb thumb drive, web cam, share music/movies, and more.
What you need:
- You need to buy a Network USB Storage adapter (aka NAS adapter). I have posted some links for you to find NAS adapters here.
Network sharing
Some available NAS adapters:
Cirago NUS1000 Network USB Storage
Addonics NAS Adapter
Patriot Gearbox NAS Adapter
This is a small adapter which will connect your USB devices and your home network. Price of the device starts from around $40.
How to start sharing:
1) Once you get the NAS adapter, plug in the power cable, plug in your USB devices into NAS adapter.
2) Connect a network cable (RJ45 cable) to your Router and connect another end to NAS adapter.
3) Follow the device specific instructions as per given in the manual.
4) Most NAS adapter comes with Web interface for setting up your devices. Again follow the instruction in the manual. (it’s a one time thing to do)
5) Commonly people would connect printer, external hard drive or even webcam. If you connect printer to NAS adapter then you need to add new printer in your laptop or desktop. Follow the instructions that came with NAS adapter on how to find correct printer. Most of the NAS adapters in current market have ability to read-write on FAT32 drives and readonly on NTFS drives.
And you are good to go. Now you can print through wireless network, access your data in external hard drive wireless-ly, no more plugging and unplugging.
