Click the globe (bottom left corner) and in the "search programs and files" box enter the following, that should find the attached usb memory stick in windows explorer.
\\192.168.1.253
From there you can map it to a drive letter.

So if you have a memory stick in the routers usb port you can access it at the above IP address.
On some of this routers older firmware the fileserver address is floating and often can be found on 192.168.1.64.
You may not be using the right search box. I'm forgetting I run a program on my win8.1 machine to make it appear as win7, http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/?Referer=cnet --- I don't need to bother with all that metro stuff.
On my system I just click the globe bottom left and in the search box there I enter:
\\192.168.1.253 then hit enter
That starts windows explorer displaying the attached usb device as a folder.

This worked:
Right click on the windows icon, bottom left corner, select run, in that box enter the IP address.

I have just walked into the next room and using my wife's Win 7 PC The "Technicolor" appears as another computer - double-click on it and you see the "Disk" which you can then open and see all the files. Frustrating or what?
By the way, you were right originally that the IP address is ....253 (my laptop is .64). For further info we are both plugged directly into the router by cables - see what I mean by traditionalist?
Any more ideas? If not I will have to resort to "Sneakernet"

Try disabling the firewall, if you can then access the disk it may be the firewall is set to "public" for the connection to the router.

If you can't access that as well as the memory stick I would suspect your firewall is causing the problem, but I am prejudiced against these bloated security programs.

As far as a Firewall is concerned, surely a firewall is there to prevent intrusion from outside my home network - not to prevent sharing of data within it?

The routers firewall and windows own firewall will both protect against intrusion from outside your home network. If that's all you need why use Norton?
