Section 3 - Configuration
The mydlink SharePort™ app is a streamlined mobile application that allows you to conveniently stream media and share files
stored on a removable storage connected to your router. 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. It 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.
Note:
If you choose to skip the mydlink Shareport registration during the initial setup of your DIR-818LW, you may begin the registration process
anytime by accessing the mydlink Shareport feature from within the router configuration. Please see “mydlink Settings” on page DIR-818LW
for details on how to begin the mydlink shareport registration process.
