To set up your personal account and use FTP:

For more information, see Set up a new Dynamic DNS account on page 117.

Your router must use a direct Internet connection. It cannot connect to a different
router to access the Internet.

You must use the power supply when you connect the USB storage device to the

to two minutes before it is ready for sharing. By default, the USB storage device is
available to all computers on your local area network (LAN).
