N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR4500

Media Server Settings

By default, the router is set up to act as a Ready DLNA Media server, which lets you view movies and photos on DLNA/UPnP AV–compliant media players, such as Xbox360, Playstation, and NETGEAR’s Digital Entertainer Live.

To view these settings, select Advanced > USB Storage > Media Server to display the following screen:

By default the Enable Media Server check box and the Automatic (when new files are added) radio button are selected. When these options are selected, the router scans for media files whenever new files are added to the ReadySHARE USB hard drive.

Specify Approved USB Devices

For more security, you can set up the router to share approved USB devices only. You can access this feature from the Advanced Setup menu on the Advanced tab.
