8. 3. 1. Access the USB Disk

1. Connect Your USB Disk

Insert your USB storage device into the modem router’s USB port directly or using

a USB cable. Wait several seconds until the USB LED becomes solid on.

Tips:

• If you use USB hubs, make sure no more than 4 devices are connected to the modem router.

• If the USB storage device requires using bundled external power, make sure the external power has been

connected.

• If you use a USB hard drive, make sure its file system is FAT32 or NTFS. Some modem routers also support the

HFS+ and exFAT file systems.

• Before you physically disconnect a USB device from the modem router, safely remove it to avoid data

damage: Go to Advanced > USB Settings > Device Settings and click .

2. Access the Media Files on Your USB Disk

Now the DLNA-supported devices (such as your computer and pad) connected to

the modem router can detect and play the media files on the USB disks.
