Connecting to the USB Drive from a Remote Computer

To connect to the USB drive from remote computers using a Web browser, you must use the
router’s Internet port IP address rather than the local IP address.

Locating the Internet Port IP Address

1. The Router Status screen shows the Internet port IP address:Log in to the DG834GUv5 router

at its default LAN address of

http://10.0.0.2

with its default user name of admin and default

password of admin, or using whatever LAN address and password you have assigned.

2. Under the Maintenance section in the left navigator, click Router Status.

3. Record the IP address that is listed for the Internet Port. This is the IP address you can use to

connect to the router remotely.

Accessing the Router’s USB Drive Remotely Using FTP

You can connect to the router’s USB drive using a Web browser:

1. Connect to the router by typing ftp:// and the Internet port IP address in the address field of

Internet Explorer or Netscape® Navigator, for example:

ftp://10.1.65.4 If you are using dynamic DNS, you can type the DNS name rather than the IP

address.

2. Type the account name and password that has access rights to the USB drive.

3. The directories of the USB drive that your account has access to will be displayed, for

example, share/partition1/directory1. You can now read and copy files from the USB
directory.
