Working with a WOW Arris modem/router. The USB port is inactive by design. I have an extra Linksys EA6350 router with a "blue tongue" 3.0 USB port. I want to hardwire it into my system, the end result being a using the Linksys for an NAS. I do not want a "wireless" set up anymore than I have. I have a 1TB SSD portable drive with a "purple tongue" 3.1 cable. THE QUESTION(s): If I set up the Linksys as an access point will that mean I can just plug into the USB as an NAS or is the added configuration needed for the equipment? Your dealing with an octagenarian here so be gentle. I am looking for a step by step site or a YouTube video (of which I have found none so far) that addresses the issues.
