Routers with a USB-C port for connecting peripherals

USB-C

— a modern connector for connecting external peripherals, through which the device operates with compatible storage devices, modems, smartphones, or other accessories. Such a USB-C port is useful where the router or access point is intended not only for distributing internet but also for direct interaction with connected devices.

For example, you can connect a flash drive or SSD for shared network access to files, a smartphone in modem mode, or a separate USB accessory if this is provided by the manufacturer. It is important to understand that the capabilities of the USB-C port depend on the specific model: on one device it works extensively with peripherals, while on another it supports only part of the scenarios.
