Your Wi-Fi router’s hidden trick: Easy file sharing between PCs

Here is a 188-word summary of the news article: The article explains an easy way to share files between computers in your home using your Wi-Fi router's USB port. First, you connect a USB drive or hard drive to the back of your router. Then, you access your router's settings by typing in its IP address and entering the password. In the settings, you can look for options to set up a shared drive or folder. If that's not an option, you can use Windows to create a shared network drive using your router's IP address. To access the shared drive from another computer, you need to map the network drive in File Explorer. This involves selecting "Map network drive" and entering the network path, which will likely be in the format "\\router_IP\shared_folder". You can also choose to reconnect to the drive automatically when you log in. The article notes that the shared drive is open to anyone on your home network, so sensitive files should not be stored there. Overall, this provides a simple way to share files across multiple computers in your household.
