Using the mydlink SharePort™ app for Android™

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.

1. If you are connecting remotely through the mydlink SharePort™ app

from the Internet, you will need a

mydlink

account.

2. Make sure the device is powered on. Then plug your USB drive into

the USB port of the device.

Note

: If you connect a removable storage with many files or a large capacity, it

may take a while for the router to scan and catalog your files.
