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

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

•On a Window computer, use a web browser or Microsoft Networking to copy the files from the USB drive to the computer. 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 download shared files from the router.

Sharing files with a remote colleague involves the following considerations:

•There are two user accounts: admin and guest. The password for admin is the same one that you use to access the router. By default, it is password. The guest user account has no password.

•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.

Note: 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.

Back Up Windows Computers with ReadySHARE Vault

Your router comes with free backup software for all the Windows computers in your home. Connect a USB hard disk drive (HDD) to the USB port on your router for centralized, continuous, and automatic backup.

To back up your Windows computer:
