Connecting a USB Drive to the Router

5-1

This chapter describes how to configure a USB disk drive attached to the WGT634U Wireless 
Media Router. In planning your network, you should consider the level of security required for 
local and remote users of the USB drive. 

You can connect either a USB flash drive or a USB hard drive to the WGT634U. USB drive 
applications may include:

•

Sharing files with offsite coworkers — sharing files such as Word documents, PowerPoint 
presentations, and text files with remote users. 

•

Sharing multimedia with friends and family — sharing MP3 files, pictures, and other 
multimedia with local and remote users.

•

Sharing resources on your network — storing files in a central location so that you do not have 
to power up a computer to perform local sharing. In addition, you can share files between 
Macintosh, Linux, and PC computers by using the USB drive as a go-between the systems.

As soon as you plug the USB drive in the router, local users have read and write access to 

the drive using Microsoft Networking. 

Users from the Internet can access the USB drive using FTP. The USB Drive Wizard will guide 
you through the FTP setup process. 

You can share files on the USB drive for a wide variety of business and recreational purposes. The 
files can be any PC, Mac, or Linux file type including text files, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, MP3, 
pictures, and multimedia. 

A few of the common uses are shown below.
