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..
