Access to the USB drive of the Xiaomi Mini WiFi router
In the settings menu (MI wi-fi), the router sees a drive inserted in the USB port. How can I view the contents of the drive and work with it?
Answer
Yes, you can connect a flash drive or an external hard disk to the Xiaomi Mini Wi-Fi router. But, as far as I know, on the factory firmware you can access the connected USB-drive only through a special Mi wi-fi application, which can be installed from Google Play for Android, or from the App Store for iOS devices. For PC, the Mi wi-fi program can be downloaded from Xiaomi’s official website.
To use a flash drive connected to the router as a regular storage device (network drive on mobile devices and PC), you will have to flash Xiaomi Mini Wi-Fi with Padavan third-party firmware.
