drives. For the most up-to-date list of USB drives supported by the WiFi DSL modem router,
visit:
The WiFi DSL modem router supports both read and write access for FAT16, FAT32, and
NTFS.
Note:
Some USB external hard drives and flash drives require drivers to
be loaded into the computer before the computer can access the
USB device. Such USB devices do not work with the WiFi DSL
modem router.

device and share the contents with other users on your network.

File-Sharing Scenarios
You can share files on the USB drive for a wide variety of business and recreational
purposes. The files can be any Windows, Mac, or Linux file type including text, Word,
PowerPoint, Excel, and MP3 files, pictures, and multimedia. USB drive applications include:
•
Sharing multimedia such as MP3 files, pictures, and other multimedia with local and
remote users.
•
Sharing resources on your network. You might want to store files in a central location so
that you do not need to power up a computer to perform local sharing. In addition, you
can share files between Macintosh, Linux, and Windows computers by using the USB
drive as a go-between across the systems.
•
Sharing files such as Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, and text files with
remote users.
A few common uses are described in the following sections.
Share Photos
You can create your own central storage location for photos and multimedia. This approach
eliminates the need to log in to (and pay for) an external photo-sharing site.
To share files with your friends and family:
1.
Insert your USB drive into the USB port on the WiFi DSL modem router either directly or
with a USB cable.
Computers on your local area network (LAN) can automatically access this USB drive
using a web browser or Microsoft Networking.
2.
If you want to specify read-only access or to allow access from the Internet, see
USB
Storage Advanced Settings
on page 66.
Store Files in a Central Location for Printing
This scenario is for a family that has one high-quality color printer directly attached to a
computer, but not shared on the local area network (LAN). This family does not have a print
server.
•
One family member has photos on a Macintosh computer that she wants to print.
•
The photo-capable color printer is directly attached to a computer, but not shared on the
network.
•
The Mac and Windows computer are not visible to each other on the network.
To print photos from a Mac on the printer attached to a Windows computer:
1.
On the Mac, access the USB drive by typing
\\readyshare
in the address field of a web
browser. Then copy the photos to the USB drive.
2.
On the Windows computer, use a web browser or Microsoft Networking to copy the files
from the USB drive to the Windows computer. Then print the files.

Share Large Files over the Internet
Sending files that are larger than 5 MB can pose a problem for many email systems. The
WiFi DSL modem router allows you to share large files such as PowerPoint presentations or
.zip files over the Internet. FTP can be used to easily download shared files from the WiFi
DSL modem router.
Sharing files with a remote colleague involves the following considerations:
•
There are two user accounts: admin and guest. The password for admin is the same one
that you use to access the WiFi DSL modem router. By default, it is
password
. The guest
user account has no password.
•
On the FTP site, the person receiving the files should use the guest user account and
enter any password (FTP requires that you type something in the password field).
•
Be sure to select the
FTP (via Internet)
check box in the USB Storage (Advanced
Settings) screen. This option supports both downloading and uploading of files.
Note:
You can enable the HTTP (via Internet) option on the USB Storage
(Advanced Settings) screen to share large files. This option supports
downloading files only.
