To add a network folder:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the router
network.
2. 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.
3. Select ADVANCED > USB Functions > ReadySHARE Storage. The USB Storage (Advanced
Settings) page displays.
4. In the Available Network Folders section, select the USB storage device.
If a single device is attached to the USB port, the radio button is selected automatically.
5. Click the Create Network Folder button. The Add Folder window opens.
If this window does not open, your web browser might be blocking pop-ups. If it is, change
the browser settings to allow pop-ups.
6. From the USB Device menu, select the USB drive.
Note: We recommend that you do not attach more than one drive to one USB port (for
example, through a USB hub).
7. Click the Browse button and in the Folder field, select the folder.
8. In the Share Name field, type the name of the share.
9. From the Read Access menu and the Write Access menu, select the settings that you want.
All–no password (the default) allows all users to access the network folder. The other option
is that only the admin user is allowed access to the network folder. The password for admin
is the same one that you use to log in to the router.
10. Click the Apply button.
The folder is added on the USB storage device.
11. Click the Close Window button.
The window closes.
