Specify ReadyDLNA Media Server Settings

By default, the router functions as a ReadyDLNA media server, which lets you view
movies and photos on DLNA/UPnP AV–compliant media players, such as Xbox360,
Playstation, and NETGEAR media players.
To specify media server settings:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The Dashboard displays.
4. Select Settings > USB Functions > Media Server.
The Media Server (Settings) page displays.
5. Specify the following settings:
• Enable DLNA Media Server. By default, this check box is selected to enable the
router to function as a media server. You can clear the check box to disable the
media server functionality.
• Enable TiVo support. By default, this check box is selected so that you can play
ReadyNAS media on your TiVo device. You can clear the check box to disable
TiVo support.
For more information, see Set Up the Router to Work With TiVo on page 159.
• Media Server Device Name. The default media server device name is
ReadyDLNA:XR300. To change the router device name, which affects the XR300
extension of the media server device name, click the Edit button. Changing the
router device name also affects the storage folder name.
6. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
The router automatically scans for media files when new files are added to your
ReadySHARE USB storage device. The router can scan only shared folders that do
not require a password.
7. To scan for new media files immediately, click the Rescan media files button.
