Transferring files to external HD
Hi All!
I just bought this router, so don't know much about it yet. I do use Plex Media Server and have my external hard drive hooked up to this router.
So that I don't have to keep disconnecting my ex HD to connect to my laptop to transfer files, is there a way to transfer my files from my laptop to my ex HD through the router?
I figured it out. I used ReadyShare and was able to access my external HD via windows explorer.

There is a manual for the R9000 somewhere at the end of this link:

See page 89.
