Once the SharePort firmware is installed, USB devices such as printers or hard drives can be connected to the USB ports in the company’s DIR-655 and DIR-855 routers.

SharePort uses USB over TCP/IP technology to make the connected device available to anyone on the local network.

“By adding SharePort USB-sharing technology to our Wireless N wireless router product line, we are further meeting the consumer’s need for the most sought-after features of network functionality, and offering the ideal centrepiece for a wireless network in the digital home or small office,” said Andrew Mulholland, marketing manager, D-Link UK&I.

The SharePoint firmware is a free download from dlink.co.uk/support.
