I have a Zyxel C3000Z. What is the USB port for?

I was told by Centurylink tech the USB port was only for an external WIFI antenna. Does anyone know of such an animal that plugs into this manual-less product?

Hi feral

I found C3000Z user manual on internet.
Not sure if there was any misunderstanding?
It says:

USB

: You can connect a USB memory stick or a USB hard drive for

file sharing. The Device automatically detects the USB device.

Alternatively, use a USB cable

(not provided) to connect a USB

printer to this port

I noticed in the latest CenturyLink Firmware CZD005-4.16.011.0 that the USB port is listed under the Ethernet tab - as in the old DSL modems used to connect via USB.  Is it a USB A-A cable that is used or a special crossover?

Does this device come with a default firmware Zyxel provides or only CenturyLink? If so can you post a link to download it (and the manual if possible)?

Thanks,

-Rob

Hello @filter4ever

I have found a user guide at https://fccid.io/I88C3000Z/User-Manual/User-Manual-pdf-3416832

It says that the USB port is only for file sharing, or connecting a USB printer.

Kind regards, Tony
