The mydlink SharePort™ app is a streamlined mobile application that allows you to conveniently stream media and share ﬁles

stored on a removable storage device 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-895L, you may begin the registration process

anytime by accessing the mydlink SharePort feature from within the router conﬁguration menu. Please see page 94 for details on how to begin

the mydlink shareport registration process.

app from the Internet, you will need a

a USB port on the device.

Note:

If you connect a removable storage device with several thousand ﬁles, it

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