I can not access a hard drive from the USB port of this router with the current firmware version that Verizon provides.
In the manual it states that firmware upgrades will allow the USB ports to be used to access hard drives and other peripherals but this router has been out for 2 years now and no firmware update has been released to do that yet. Verizon updates the firmware itself automatically from central. We don't even have the option to do it on our own.
I bought this M/R because it is the only unit avaiable to FIOS users. Yet it remains incomplete. In order to achieve the function of a small USB network storage device I would have to spend many many $$$ because Verizon won't simply supply the firmware update.
This is inexcusable.
