Specify ReadyDLNA Media Server Settings
By default, the extender functions as a ReadyDLNA media server, which lets you stream

such as Xbox360, Playstation, and NETGEAR media players.
To specify media server settings:
1.
On your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device, open the WiFi connection manager
and locate and connect to the extender WiFi network.
2.
Launch a web browser.
3.
Enter www.mywifiext.net in the address field of the browser.
A login window opens.
4.
Enter your user name and password.
The Status page displays.
5.
Select Do More > USB Port.
By default, the Enable Media Server and Enable TiVo support check boxes are
selected. This lets the extender function as a media server and play media on your TiVo.
6.

Name field and click the Update button.

Leave the Content scan check box selected.
