Using the mydlink SharePort™ App for Android™
The mydlink SharePort™ app is a mobile application that allows you to conveniently stream media and share files stored on a
USB drive connected to your DIR-866L. Once the router is set up, you can start the app and easily connect from a local network
or through the Internet to access your photos, videos, music, and documents. The SharePort app allows you to create your
own personal cloud storage. You can upload files and photos from your mobile device to the removable storage via the app
from anywhere in the world!
Note: In order to ensure smooth streaming performance, you will need a minimum of 2 Mbit/s upload bandwidth for your router's Internet connection.
Streaming performance will vary depending on the quality of your Internet connection.
The instructions that follow are for the mydlink SharePort app for Android devices. For the mydlink SharePort app for iPad®,
iPhone®, and iPod Touch®, refer to

2. Make sure the DIR-866L is powered on. Then plug your USB drive into the
USB port on the back of the router.
Note: If you connect a USB drive containing many files or with a large capacity, it may take
a while for the router to scan and catalog your files.
