Storage > Media Server
The storage options are available when a USB storage
device is connected to the USB port of the Router. If the
storage device does not fit (for example, it may block port
1), then use the included USB extension cable.
The Media Server feature allows you to share stored
content with other computers and devices on your home
network and on the Internet.
If you have UPnP AV (Audio and Video)-enabled or Digital
Living Network Alliance (DLNA)-certified devices in your
home, then you can use the Router as a media server.
Examples of UPnP AV-enabled devices include a digital
media adapter, a gaming console with a built-in media
player, or a digital picture frame.
For example, if you have a digital media adapter that sends
content to your entertainment system, then the digital
media adapter can locate the Router using the UPnP AV
standard. The folders you specify can then be accessed
and played by the digital media adapter.
