Re: Sharing/Streaming music through my network

I am currently using the Netgear Genie app on my Samsung S5 to stream my music during parties outside off my (2) 4 tb WD HD's connected via USB on the Nighthawk Router. The problem I am having is I cannot create playlists within the app so it's a pain going from song to song. I can access my network with programs like winamp on my laptop which will let me select numorous songs and the party can last for hours. HA!! I would really like to use my phone instead of the laptop. Again. What would be the best way to access my music library and be able to select numorous songs like a playlist.
Thanks for any help
Ricky

Your Samsung S5 supports DLNA, so you should be able to enable the DLNA server on the Nighthawk and stream music from it to your phone. On the Nighthawk, go to ADVANCED > USB Functions > ReadySHARE Storage. Click on the Media Server tab and enable DLNA Media Server. Then Apply.

Re: Sharing/Streaming music through my network
Hi @mopargocar,
Welcome to Community!
For Genie app, it will search for all media files on the drive and will be assigned to specific folder if its music, photo or videos but there is no option or feature that you can create a playlist.
