Storage > Media Server
The storage options are available when a USB storage
device is connected to the USB port of the Router . If the
storage device does not fit (for example, it may block port
1), then use the included USB extension cable .
The Media Server feature allows you to share stored
content with other computers and devices on your home
network and on the Internet .
If you have UPnP AV (Audio and Video)-enabled or Digital
Living Network Alliance (DLNA)-certified devices in your
home, then you can use the Router as a media server .
Examples of UPnP AV-enabled devices include a digital
media adapter, a gaming console with a built-in media
player, or a digital picture frame .
For example, if you have a digital media adapter that sends
content to your entertainment system, then the digital
media adapter can locate the Router using the UPnP AV
standard . The folders you specify can then be accessed
and played by the digital media adapter .
