The new WLR-6000 Wireless Gigabit Concurrent Dual Band Router from Sitecom offers speeds up to 300Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and up to 450Mbps on the 5GHz frequency. The device can be used as a print server or an entry level NAS thanks to the included USB port and we also have included 6 free months of access to the Sitecom Cloud Security protection layer.
In the previous firmware version, there was a small error and the USB port tab inside the Advanced Settings menu was not showing properly; this issue was quickly fixed by Sitecom. Inside this menu we can choose the function mode of the USB port; in Server Mode, the connected storage drives will be shown inside the network as a separate device for easy access:
However, if we select NetUSB Mode, we will be able to see the drives as if they were connected directly to the computer, with the help of the Control Center software:
Upon launching the Sitecom Multi-Function Printserver Control Center software, we will see the name of the drive connected to the USB port; by right-clicking we can mount it to our computer. This process can be also automated:
Here are some read and write test results with the drive connected in both ways:
“Server Mode” Copy
“Server Mode” Read
“NetUSB Mode” Copy
“NetUSB Mode” Read
If we connect a printer to the USB port, we will again see it in the Control Center software interface and when it is mounted, it will be seen as if it is connected directly to our PC:
