AC1600 WiFi Cable Modem Router Access Storage Devices Through the Internet If you connect a USB storage device to the modem router, you can access the USB device through the Internet when you are not home. After you gain access, you can use FTP to share files on the USB device. To access devices from a remote computer: 1. Launch a web browser on a computer that is not on your home network. 2. Connect to your modem router on your home network: • To connect with Dynamic DNS, type the DNS name. To use a Dynamic DNS account, you must enter the account information in the Dynamic DNS page (see Set Up and Manage Dynamic DNS on page 147). • To connect without Dynamic DNS, type the modem router's Internet port IP address. You can view the modem router's Internet IP address on the BASIC Home page. Set Up FTP Access Through the Internet If you attach a storage device to the modem router, you can access the storage device from your network (see Enable FTP Access Within Your Network on page 128).
