Sharing Photos with Friends and Family
The 108 Mbps Wireless Media Router WGT634U allows you to create your own central storage
location for photos and multimedia. This eliminates the need to log in to (and pay for) an external
photo sharing site.

Sharing files with your friends and family involves the following steps:
1. Using the 108 Mbps Wireless Media Router WGT634U configuration utility, assign a user
name and password for each friend or family member.
2. Specify a share folder that the account can access.
3. Decide whether the account should have read only or read and write privileges. You can assign
read only access of the shared folder on the USB drive to remote friends and family members
such as Grandma.
4. Local family members (Mom, Dad, and Son) can use a Web browser or Microsoft Networking
to access files on the USB drive. Local users have read and write privileges.
