Good Day,

Thank you very much for your feedback.

The USB sharing feature has been cancelled on the V4, and the USB port is used for 3/4G modem connection back up.

But for the V3, it is still supported USB sharing.

For more details, please have a look at : https://static.tp-link.com/2020/202001/20200114/1910012731_TD-W9970_UG_REV4.0.0.pdf

 

Thank you~

@Sunshine 

Hello,

 

I have the same problem the usb sharing option is missing in the panel. I have purchased the TD-W9970 v3 but came the v4. Can I flash the v3 and activate the sharing feature over USB?

@Farhad.. 

Hi,

I am afraid that the hardware version V4 could not be flashed back to V3 since it might break the router.

Thank you.

This feature is one of the main reason I choose the device. Is there any other way to access USB sharing feature?
