Access Storage Devices Through the Internet
If you connect a USB storage device to the modem router, you can access the USB device through the
Internet when you are not home. After you gain access, you can use FTP to share files on the USB device.

You can access storage devices that are attached to your modem router from a remote computer.
To access devices from a remote computer:
1.
Launch a web browser on a computer that is not on your home network.
2.
Connect to your modem router, on your home network:
•
To connect with Dynamic DNS, type the DNS name.
To use a Dynamic DNS account, you must enter the account information on the Dynamic DNS page
(see
on page 128).
•
To connect without Dynamic DNS, type the modem router’s Internet port IP address.
You can view the modem router’s Internet IP address on the BASIC Home page.
Set Up FTP Access Through the Internet
If you attach a storage device to the modem router, you can access the storage device from your network
(see
Enable FTP Access Within Your Network
on page 121). You can also set up FTP access through the
Internet so that you can access the storage device from outside your local network, for example, when you
