If you want to work with another USB device, you have to first click the Safely Remove USB
Device button for the currently connected USB device. Connect the other USB device, and
repeat this process.
Connect to the USB Drive from a Remote Computer
To connect to the USB drive from remote computers with a web browser, you have to use the
router’s Internet port IP address. If you are using Dynamic DNS, you can type the DNS name,
rather than the IP address. You can view the router’s Internet IP address from the dashboard
on the Basic Home screen or the Advanced Home screen.
Access the Router’s USB Drive Remotely Using FTP
To connect to the router’s USB drive using a web browser:
1. Connect to the router by typing ftp:// and the Internet port IP address in the address
field of Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, for example:
ftp://10.1.65.4
If you are using Dynamic DNS, you can type the DNS name, rather than the IP address.
2. Type the account name and password that has access rights to the USB drive. The user
name (account name) for All – no password is guest.
3. The directories of the USB drive that your account has access to are displayed, for example,
share/partition1/directory1. You can now read and copy files from the USB directory.
