To share files with your friends and family:

1.Insert your USB drive into the USB port on the router either directly or with a USB cable.

Computers on your local area network (LAN) can automatically access this USB drive using a web browser or Microsoft Networking.

2.If you want to specify read-only access or to allow access from the Internet, see Storage Advanced Settings on page 52.

Store Files in a Central Location for Printing

This scenario is for a family that has one high-quality color printer directly attached to a computer, but not shared on the local area network (LAN). This family does not have a print server.

•One family member has photos on a Macintosh computer that she wants to print.

•The photo-capable color printer is directly attached to a PC, but not shared on the network.

•The Mac and PC are not visible to each other on the network.

To print photos from a Mac on the printer attached to a PC:

1. On the Mac, access the USB drive by typing \\readyshare in the address field of a web browser. Then copy the photos to the USB drive.

2. On the PC, use a web browser or Microsoft Networking to copy the files from the USB drive to the PC. Then print the files.

Share Large Files over the Internet

Sending files that are larger than 5 MB can pose a problem for many email systems. The router allows you to share large files such as PowerPoint presentations or .zip files over the Internet. FTP can be used to easily download shared files from the router.

Sharing files with a remote colleague involves the following considerations:

•On the FTP site, the person receiving the files uses the guest user account and enters the password. (FTP requires that you type something in the password field.)

•Be sure to select the FTP (via Internet) check box in the USB Storage (Advanced Settings) screen. This option supports both downloading and uploading of files.

You can enable the HTTP (via Internet) option on the USB Storage (Advanced Settings) screen to share large files. This option supports downloading files only.
