Specify ReadyDLNA media server settings
By default, the router acts as a ReadyDLNA media server, which lets you view movies
and photos on DLNA/UPnP AV-compliant media players, such as Xbox360, Playstation,
and NETGEAR media players.
To specify media server settings:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2. Enter
http://www.routerlogin.net
.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is
admin
. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select
ADVANCED > USB Functions > ReadySHARE Storage > Media Server
.
The Media Server (Settings) page displays.

new files are added to your ReadySHARE USB storage device. Only a shared
