NETGEAR USB Control Center
NETGEAR USB Control Center is a utility for macOS that manages USB-connected devices (such as printers or external storage) attached to NETGEAR routers via the router's USB port. It allows users to configure, monitor and control USB peripherals remotely through the router rather than connecting them directly to individual computers, enabling printer sharing and peripheral access across a network without dedicated USB connections to each Mac.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe search results contain only discussions from 2015–2017 regarding compatibility with Mac OS X El Capitan, with no evidence of updates or native Apple Silicon builds since then. NETGEAR has not published a release or update to this utility in nearly a decade, suggesting the product has been abandoned. There is no native Apple Silicon build available, and the Intel version will stop launching entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (late 2027). Most modern NETGEAR routers now support AirPrint for printer sharing without requiring this utility, and wireless USB printing via Bonjour is often available as a direct alternative. Contact NETGEAR support to confirm whether this utility is still officially supported on current macOS versions and current router models — if not, you may be able to configure USB device sharing directly through the router's web interface or mobile app instead of relying on this desktop utility.
