Hello!

My router is an Archer AC1350 and it has a USB port for plugging an external HDD as a network shared storage.

I was wondering if anyone tried that kind of setup with Jellyfin on Android, specifically on an Nvidia Shield?

Does it work? How well? If not, then should I invest in another kind of network storage soluion?

Don't do it. I did it for a while it's very slow and hard on the weak little CPU in the router. Eventually the USB port burned out entirely.

Ah ok. Thanks for the info.

I think I'll invest in a standalone storage sharing device instead.
