Using an External Drive

Overview

You can attach most USB drives (including a thumb drive or a high-capacity external drive) to the USB
port on your router. You can then use the drive as networked storage, as a media server (for media-
enabled devices such as a networked TV), and as an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server. You can also
specify which users can access the content on the drive.

How to attach a USB drive

If a USB drive is already connected to the router, and you want to attach a different drive to that USB
port, you should safely disconnect the old drive first.
To safely remove a USB drive from the router:
1. Log into Linksys Smart Wi-Fi, then click External Storage under Smart Wi-Fi Tools.
2. In the Status tab, click Safely remove drive.
3. Disconnect the old drive from the router.
To attach a USB drive to the router:
Connect the USB drive to an available USB port on the back of your router. Your router will
•
detect the drive.
To update the External Storage screen, you may need to click Refresh.
To view the status and settings of your attached drive:
1. Log into Linksys Smart Wi-Fi. (See ''How to connect to Linksys Smart Wi-Fi'' on page 10.)
2. Click External Storage under Smart Wi-Fi Tools.
