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-880L, you may begin the registration process

anytime by accessing the mydlink SharePort feature from within the router configuration. Please see page 96 for details on how to begin the

mydlink shareport registration process.

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

app from the Internet, you will need a

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
