USB Port Question (1043ND)
Region : Others
Model : TL-WR1043ND
Hardware Version : V1
Firmware Version : 3.13.12 Build 120405 Rel.33996n

I am very happy with this router, but cannot find the right use for the usb port...:confused:
Currently, I am using this for a printer (HP OfficeJet J4580) which is supported in the list, but trying to address some questions
1) theoretically, what is the advantage of this as oppose to sharing a printer via the home network in windows, is it achieving the same functionality?
2) I hooked it to the router and install the SW (annoying that you have to install the print server though) and via my desktop PC (windows 8.1 64 bit) I can see the printer and print . The problem is that I couldn't do the same from my laptop (windows 7 32 bit)...it doesn't see the printer - my printer is shared BTW in windows desktop PC - is that right?
3) can I print to it from my mobile devices (ipad, phones) connected to the router?
And if I use the USB as sharing files of my external Hard Drive - are there any supporting applications for iPad or android devices that I can stream to them directly from the HD?
at the moment I can achieve the same with AirPlay and StreamToMe for example (i just need my pc on for this, no big deal)
Any help is appreciated!;);)
