Can Transporter work by plugging it in to an Airport Extreme via the USB Connector? Some docs suggest an Ethernet connection is required.

The best performance is over Ethernet. The USB port allows you to plugin the manufacturers wireless adapter so that the Transporter can operate over a wireless network. I believe the USB port is not supported for any other use. but you can use the Transporter wirelsslt by installing a

The Transporter requires an Ethernet (preferred) or Wi-Fi connection to your network. The USB port is for connecting an optional TP-LINK TL-WN823N Wi-Fi adapter. If your AirPort Extreme has unused Ethernet ports, you could connect a Transporter to one of those.

I tried the TL-WN823N and could not get it to work. Could find no information on how to set it up by Drobo and TP-Link has no idea either.

Unfortunately, the USB is set up to access a Hard drive, not the network. There is an Ethernet port on the back that requires HARD-WIRED to a router or hub.

Well, I don't know if I fully understand your question. The Airport is not a printer. If you want to plug in a USB printer and let the Airport bridge that onto the network, you certainly can. Or you can hook up an Ethernet or wireless printer. But whether or not any of those print from an iPad is more a driver issue than anything. Some printers are AirPrint compatible, and some need something else running on a computer to make them visible to the iPad. Sorry, but there is no simple answer here.

Yes, it definitely will connect via USB 3. I am not sure what Mr. Hurd is referring too. There is no "requirement" for it to be connected to the Internet. Mine.is connected via CAT 5 to my internal network and is not accessible outside of that network. My personal opinion is, this is one of the best NAS solutions you could get.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Hello Rudy, This particular model seems to only have one full sized USB 3.0 port which is compatible since the operating system is Windows 8.1. However we have had some instances where USB related power saving features cause some trouble with these Ethernet adapters. In those cases, turning off the features resolved the problem. The best thing to do (if you decide to purchase the Ethernet adapter) is to install the newest driver -&gt; http://plugable.com/products/USB3-E1000/drivers ahead of time. I hope this answers your questions. Kind regards, Patric Plugable Technologies

As far as I know the only connections it supports are WiFi and ethernet. The USB is for file sharing.

I have no idea where these yes and/or maybe answers are coming from. Even if your router is one of the few with a USB interface specifically for hard drives (airport extreme is one), you can't call this USB unit a network hard drive. A network hard drive has an ethernet or wifi interface, which these do not have. The only correct answer is no, it won't work as a network hard drive. Are we all talking about the same exact Toshiba? Maybe not since Amazon likes to make changes and lump things together as one, but I doubt any in this series have ever been network capable.

No, but you can get an USB to Ethernet cable adapter. Although there are two USB ports, I used a powered USB hub with my B121, which allows me to plug in multiple USB devices.

No. This product will not convert Ethernet into USB. It will only extend a USB 2.0 Connection (makes a long USB 2.0 extension cord)

There are no Ethernet ports. There are no cables nor adapters that come inside box other than AC charger. If you want access to Ethernet, you'll have to purchase an adapter as you've mentioned above either USB2.0 or USB3.0...

You will need an adapter to to fully use this device. What you lose is the powered USB hub. What will still work (provided you have the motherboard ports for these items): USB 3.0, card reader, Esata.Most likely the hub will also work - it just won't be powered.

If I understand the question, this is not possible. The Airport Express actually gets installed inside the speaker. In my case, the express networks with an Airport Extreme. Also note that the speaker (at least my model) only supports some specific models of the express so you should doublecheck.

I think the ethernet cuts out when you plug in the usb, so don't think they both work together.

Working Good with my Airport Extreme, I did have to up the Multicast mode to High on the Airport to stream 1080p mkv files over the wireless. Been working great ever since I did that.

This device is extender for the original Router.This is not the router.So you can not connect USB.

It has both the USB and Ethernet that you can connect to the router. I have never used the USB, but have it connected to my Gigabit Ethernet router and it works great.

Short answer: No. You cant. sorry. Long answer: I don't believe you will be able to get this working. You could try to print wireless via Airport Extreme USB (remember it wasnt successful - my info is atleast 2 years old). Maybe there is a newer version..
