Many users overlook the USB port located next to the WAN and LAN ports on their routers. However, this port can be surprisingly versatile, enabling various functionalities that enhance your home network. According to a recent article from Engadget, the USB port can transform a USB storage device into a networked drive or even provide a backup internet connection during outages.
Your Router's USB Port is Surprisingly Versatile
The capabilities of the USB port can vary by manufacturer and model, but it typically allows users to create a file server. By connecting an external hard drive, SSD, or even a flash drive, users can access the storage from any device connected to the router. To enable this feature, users should look for options in the router's settings such as File sharing, USB storage device, or Media sharing.

As organizations increasingly adopt artificial intelligence (AI), the gap between executive vision and employee engagement remains a significant challenge. While 86% of C-suite executives believe that AI is essential for their operations, only 49% of middle managers are actively reinforcing this expectation among their teams, according to Slingshot’s Digital Work Trends Report.

They need to foster an environment where team members feel safe to learn, experiment, and develop new habits. This involves creating a culture that encourages risk-taking and iterative learning, which is essential for effective AI adoption.
Coaching plays a pivotal role in this process. Rather than employing a command-and-control approach, leaders should work alongside their teams, asking questions about what is working and where challenges lie. This collaborative approach not only builds confidence but also allows employees to navigate the complexities of AI tools more effectively. As employees experiment...
