DG834GUv5 Wireless Router with Built-in DSL Modem User Manual

Storing Files in a Central Location for Playing or Printing

The DG834GUv5 Wireless Router enables you to move files so that a private resource can act as a network resource. The DG834GUv5 allows centralized storage for easy access from other

computers that have local printers, CD burners, speakers, or specialized software.

For example, the following scenario may occur in a typical family that has one high quality color printer directly attached to a computer, but not shared on the LAN:

•The daughter has some photos on her Macintosh computer that she wants to print.

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

•The mother and daughter’s computers are not visible to each other on the network

How can you send the photos from the daughter’s Mac to a printer attached to the mother’s PC? This is where the USB drive on the Wireless Router can save you time and effort.

1.Copy the photos from the daughter’s Mac to the USB drive using a Web browser. See “Connecting to the USB Drive from a Local Web Browser” on page 8-11for more information.

2.Use the mother’s PC to retrieve the files for printing. You can use a Web browser or Microsoft Networking to transfer the files from the USB drive to a PC. For more information on using Microsoft Networking to transfer the files, see “Connecting to the USB Drive From Your Home/Office Network” on page 8-12.
