This feature supports both file uploading and file downloading. The default port
is number 21, which you can change.
NOTE: For access from outside your network, we highly recommend that
you do not disable password protection.
For information about setting up Dynamic DNS (DDNS), which ensures consistent
public access, see Use Dynamic DNS to Access a USB Storage Device From the
Internet on page 166. If you set up DDNS, you can also type a URL domain name. For
example, if your domain name is MyName and you use the NETGEAR DDNS service,
you can type https://MyName.mynetgear.com or ftp://MyName.mynetgear.com to
access the USB device over the Internet.
To manage the USB storage device access 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 displays.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified when you set
up your router. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > USB Functions > Advanced Settings.
The USB Storage (Advanced Settings) page displays.
5. To set a name for the workgroup that the USB device or devices are members of, in
the Workgroup field, type a name.
By default, the name is Workgroup. The name works only in an operating system
that supports NetBIOS, such as Microsoft Windows. If you are using a Windows
workgroup rather than a domain, the workgroup name is displayed here.
6. For any access method, enable or disable access:
• Allows access: Select the associated Enable check box.
