I have a USB drive that I'd like to connect to accessible via the network. I know Comcast disables the USB ports on the gateway. If I was to connect the drive to the Ethernet port via an Ethernet to USB adapter would that work? I'd have to use a female to female adapter between the drive and the Ethernet/USB adapter. It would be Gateway Enet --> USB --> adapter <--USB <-- Drive.

I got it to work. I decided to go to Comcast and update my gateway. I had no trouble connecting the printer with the new gateway.

Hi, I just picked up a Canon Pixma TR8520 printer and am having troble connecting it to my wireless network. The gateway is a Comcast Arris TG1682G. Actually I have installed the printer and I can see it but when I try to print something it gets an error and fails. Does this Gateway allow wireless printing? Thanks

Thanks. I'm curious. Why would Comcast disable the network connectivity of the USB ports?

Will the Comcast Arris TG1682G allow you to use the usb ports to connect the USB cable from a printer and a hard disk to make them available on the wireless network? If not, is this a Comcast firmware issue? If I purchased my own compatible modem with USB ports enabled would Comcast network settings prevent them from working?
