Set Up the Router’s iTunes Server With iTunes

You can play music from a USB device that is connected to your router with iTunes on
your Windows or Mac computer using Home Sharing. To set up Home Sharing, you
need an Apple account and the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer.

To set up the router’s iTunes server to play music on iTunes:

1. Connect a USB storage device to a USB port on your router.

2. If your USB storage device uses a power supply, connect it.

You must use the power supply when you connect the USB storage device to the
router.

When you connect the USB storage device to the router’s USB port, it might take up
to two minutes before it is ready for sharing. By default, the USB storage device is
available to all computers on your local area network (LAN).

3. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the

router network.

4. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.

A login window opens.
