How to set up your router as a media server
A media server lets you share media content across your network. Your router can act as a media server if it has a USB drive attached and if you have UPnP AV (Audio and
Video)-enabled or DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance)-certified devices in your home. Examples of UPnP AV-enabled devices include digital media players, gaming consoles
with a built-in media player, and digital picture frames.
For example, if you have a digital media adapter that sends content to your entertainment system, and if your router’s set up as a media server, then the digital media adapter can access
your router’s attached USB drive.
You can specify which folders are used by the media server, add and delete folders, and specify how often the folders are scanned for new content.
To configure your router as a media server:
Log in to Linksys Smart Wi-Fi. (See “How to connect to Linksys Smart Wi-Fi” on page 4.)
Click
External Storage
under Smart Wi-Fi Tools. The External Storage screen opens.
Click the Media Server tab.
Toggle the switch for Enable Media Server
to turn it on.
