Connecting an external hard drive to a modem-router
I have a Western Digital My Book Essential external hard drive connected to my desktop computer by USB. I wanted to connect it instead to my Sky modem-router. Because the router does not have a USB port, I purchased a USB-to-RJ45 adapter and used this to make the connection. Unfortunately, the external drive no longer appears in File Explorer and the small light on the front of the drive is no longer illuminated. Is there something I can do to rectify this or is what I'm trying to do just not possible? Grateful for any advice..
