Using an External Drive
Overview
You can attach most USB drives (including a thumb drive or a high-capacity
external drive) to the USB port on your router. You can then use the drive as
networked storage, as a media server (for media-enabled devices such as a
networked TV), and as an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server. You can also specify
which users can access the content on the drive. Menus are subject to change.
To view the status and settings of your attached drive:
1. Log into Linksys Smart Wi-Fi. (See "How to configure your router" on
page 10.
2. Click USB Storage under Apps. The Status tab displays information such
as:

•
Secured folder access status
•
Addresses for accessing shared folders, the FTP server, and media
•
