ReadySHARE Access
ReadySHARE lets you access and share or a USB drive connected the router USB port. (If
your USB device has special drivers, it is not compatible.) When you connect the USB
device, it might take up to 2 minutes before it is ready for sharing.
Note:
If your USB device has a power supply, you must use it when you
connect the USB device to the router.
To access the USB device from Windows:
The readyshareconnect.exe file is available to download here:
www.netgear.com/readyshare.
You can use any of these methods:
•
Select
Start > Run
. Enter
\\readyshare
in the dialog box and click
OK
.
•
Open a browser and enter
\\readyshare
in the address bar.
•
Open My Network Places and enter
\\readyshare
in the address bar.
To access a USB device from a Mac:
1.
Select
Go > Connect to Server
.
2.
Enter
smb://readyshare
as the server address.
3.
Click
Connect
.
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 computer, Mac, or Linux file type including text files, Word,
PowerPoint, Excel, MP3, pictures, and multimedia files. USB drive applications include:
•
Sharing multimedia with friends and family such as MP3 files, pictures, and other
multimedia with local and remote users.
•
Sharing resources on your network. You can 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 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 method
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 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
Storage
Advanced Settings
on page

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 PC, but not shared on the
network.
•
The Mac and PC are not visible to each other on the network.
To print photos from a Mac on the printer attached to a PC:
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 PC, use a web browser or Microsoft Networking to copy the files from the USB drive
to the PC. 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
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 router.
Sharing files with a remote colleague involves the following considerations:
•
On the FTP site, the person receiving the files uses the guest user account and enters the
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.
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.
