The drive won't show up as a network drive on the Netgear router/switch.
Netgear seem to have something called

Why you want it
- Connect a USB hard drive to your router and access that data from any device connected to your home network
- Once you’ve connected your external USB drive you can stream your media and backup your computer to the connected USB storage device.

Whether that applies to your model of Netgear router is another matter.
