a Mac
From a computer or device on the network, you can access a storage device that is connected to the router.
To access the device from a Mac:

If your storage device uses a power supply, you must use it when you connect the device to the router.

User radio button and enter admin for the name and password for the password. For more information about
access control, see the user manual, which is available online at
a link in the router's user interface.
