Hello,
I have an NB6 box from SFR, and it has 2 USB ports on it. I didn't quite understand what these USB ports could be used for in the manual... I'm not very tech-savvy...
If someone could tell me what can be connected to them, either one, without disrupting the network, that would be really nice.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards.

Configuration: Windows / Firefox 70.0

Hello,

These ports are used to connect USB keys or drives: https://assistance.sfr.fr/internet-tel-fixe/box-nb6/brancher-disque-dur-cle-usb-box-sfr.html

or a printer: https://assistance.sfr.fr/internet-tel-fixe/box-nb6/connecter-ordinateurs-imprimante.html

Hello and thank you for your response.
Just a clarification please: I currently have a printer that is connected via USB to a HUB, which is connected to the PC.
If I connect the printer to the box, and if I have any issues and want to reconnect the printer as before via the hub, will I need to go through an installation procedure or will everything work directly as before?
(Sorry for my questions but it's a bit difficult for me...) Thank you anyway for your help.
Best regards.

I think there is a small risk that the remote printer installation could affect the local installation. Therefore, if a local reconnection occurs, the installation would need to be redone.

Thank you for your interesting information for me. I will therefore wait a little before getting started, because if I have to reinstall locally as I currently do, I need to learn and inform myself about the procedure to achieve this...
Thank you again for your help.
Best regards.
