To set up your personal account and use FTP:
1. Get your NETGEAR Dynamic DNS domain name.
For more information, see Set Up a New Dynamic DNS Account on page 114.
2. Make sure that your Internet connection is working.
Your router must use a direct Internet connection. It cannot connect to a different router to access the
Internet.
3. Connect a USB storage device to one of the USB ports of the router.
4. If your USB device uses a power supply, connect it.
You must use the power supply when you connect the USB device to the router.
When you connect the storage device to the router’s port, it might take up to two minutes before the
storage device is ready for sharing. By default, the device is available to all computers on your local
area network (LAN).
5. Set up FTP access on the router.
For more information, see Set Up FTP Access Through the Internet on page 117.
6. On a remote computer with Internet access, you can use FTP to access your router using
ftp://yourname.mynetgear.com, in which yourname is your specific domain name.
For more information, see Use FTP to Access Storage Devices Through the Internet on page 119.
