1. Take one of the following actions:
• To download a file from a storage device connected to the modem router, launch a web browser.
• To upload a file to a storage device connected to the modem router, launch an FTP client such as Filezilla.
2. Type ftp:// and the Internet port IP address in the address field of the browser.
For example, if your IP address is 10.1.65.4, type ftp://10.1.65.4.
If you are using Dynamic DNS, type the DNS name. For example, type ftp://MyName.mynetgear.com, in which
MyName is your DNS name.
3. When prompted, log in:
• To log in as admin, in the user name field, enter admin and in the password field, enter the same password
that you use to log in to the modem router.
