wireless

I just signed up for fibre, and got the dual band T3200 modem which has solid wireless transfer speeds (600 Mbps on 2.4, 1.7Gbps on 5). And it has a USB 3.0 port and Telus has confirmed enabled. Would it be possible to connect my Seagate backup drive to the router, and create a new network drive? This issue has been raised a couple times on this forum, but never definitively. I found one post mentioning DLNA and Samba, but there's no details on how to get this to work.
I see when logging into the router that in "Advanced Setup", there's a section called "Storage Service", and the router does recognize the Seagate under "Storage Device Info". There's also a subheading called Samba Configuration, but beyond enabling it, I don't know what to do. There is a reference to WORKGROUP, but I don't have any Homegroups enabled at the moment.
Is it possible to plug my external drive into the router and share the drive across my network? If so, how?
Thanks.
