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.

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.

The Media Server (Settings) page displays.
5. Specify the settings:
• Enable DLNA Media Server. Select this check box to enable this device to act as a media server.
• Enable TiVo support. Select this check box if you want to play ReadyNAS media on your TiVo
device. For more information, see
