Dear Gurus,

This would be my second noob question and i hope it is rational at least.

Being landed on this page:

http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Extend-yout-USB-using-UTP/

I'm wondering if we can assign one LAN port to be converted as a USB port and connect a flash disk to the end point of the improvised usb port to be mounted as a web space.

Is this possible?

by the way i intend to apply this on my WAP54Gv3 and E2500 both loaded with DD-WRT firmwares if possible.

Thanks a lot.

rastaval

What? No! USB and Ethernet are two very different things, despite both using electricity and wires. This is why USB-to-LAN adapters are not just simple connectors you plug into your computer.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB for more information.
