•
Sharing multimedia with friends and family. You can share MP3 files, pictures, and other
multimedia with local and remote users.
•
Sharing resources on your network. Store files in a central location so that you do not
have to power up a computer to perform local sharing. In addition, you can share files
between Macintosh, Linux, and PC computers by using the USB drive as a go-between.
•
Sharing files with offsite coworkers. Share 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 with Friends and Family
You can create your own central storage location for photos and multimedia. This 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 wireless modem router either directly or
with a USB cable.
Computers on your local area network (LAN) can 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
Configure
USB Storage Advanced Settings
on page 80.
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 PC,
but not shared on the local area network (LAN). This family does not have a print server:
•
The family’s color printer is directly attached to the mother’s PC.
•
The daughter has some photos on her Macintosh computer that she wants to print.
•
Their computers are not visible to each other on the network.
To print her photos on the color printer:
1.
The daughter types
\\readyshare
in the address field of her web browser.
This gives her access to the USB drive in the router.
2.
She copies the photos from the Mac to the router USB drive.
3.
The mother uses a her web browser or Microsoft Networking to transfer the files from the
USB drive to her PC. Then she prints the files.
Share Large Files with Colleagues
Sending files larger than 5 MB can pose a problem for many e-mail systems. The router
allows you to share very large files such as PowerPoint presentations or .zip files with

colleagues can use FTP to easily download shared files from the wireless modem router.
