Wireless-N Gigabit Router with Storage Link
Chapter 1:
Product Overview
Thank you for choosing the Wireless-N Gigabit Router
with Storage Link, which is four devices in one: a wireless
access point, which lets you connect to a wireless network;
a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 switch to connect your
wired-Ethernet devices together; a router function that
lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL
Internet connection; and a Storage Link that easily lets you
add gigabytes of storage space onto your network using
USB 2.0 hard drives, or plug in a USB flash disk to access
your portable data files. The built-in media server streams
music, video, and photos from the attached storage
device to any UPnP compatible media adapter. And you
can get to your files from anywhere in the world through
the Internet. You also get Wireless-N technology, which
can highly increase your range and speed.
