Come to find out that NTFS is a showstopper. The first hard drive I tried was a Seagate GoFlex 200GB that I had formatted using NTFS. By the way, the printer connected to the USB continued to work, so that’s good news. Plugged it in and started connecting USB hard drives, but they didn’t just work. It arrived in a couple days, thanks to Amazon Prime. Then I learned that the Airport Extreme had only 1 USB port, but with a hub, multiple USB devices could be connected. So I bought an Anker 4-port ultra slim USB 3.0 data hub from Amazon. I was very happy to see that when connected my legacy USB printer (Canon MX330), it just showed up on the WiFi network and my Wifi-connected laptops could now see the printer and print to it! Very nifty! Then I recently learned that USB devices can be connected to it and shared, like a USB printer and a USB hard drive! I’ve used the AirPort Extreme as a WiFi hotspot for several years.
