Digital camera reviews of ZyXEL X-550 Xtrememimo 802.11G MIMO Wireless Broadband Router

Digital camera Review: Great coverage, easy setup, bummed about USB port
Summary: 4 Stars

First of all, I will say that this router works great for my household needs: it's fast, easy to setup, and gets a strong signal all over my house. Enough said. One frustration is that I was hoping to plug my external hard drive directly into the USB port on the router so it could be a network drive. When I plug it in, i get an error message in the router's system log: "Detected file system is not compatible (FAT32,FAT16,FAT12)". I'm not sure what to make of this. Does it mean that my hard drive has the wrong type of file system? Will this setup work if i re-format the hard drive in a compatible format? Or does this setup require additional hardware to work as i had hoped?

Since this setup is not working, as far as i can tell, the only purpose for the USB port is to accommodate the easy setup method with a thumb drive. that would be dumb.
