Question
How do I enable media sharing on my SBR-AC3200P?
Answer
The SBR-AC3200P includes two USB ports, one USB 3.0 and one USB 2.0, connections for adding an external drive for file sharing or storage.  The USB port supports DLNA 1.5, Digital Media Server, and SAMBA for NAS Drive support.  In addition to supporting both 2.0 and 3.0 USB hard drives the USB port can be used as a charging connection for mobile devices up to 900mA at 5v. 

NOTE 1: The USB port does NOT support Internet connection.

NOTE 2: The USB 2.0 port does NOT support portable USB 3.0 device

When NAS Samba Service is enabled, the contents of the attached USB storage device will be accessible to the local area network (LAN) client with read-write permissions (public-access).  

The DLNA Media Server feature when enabled, allows the media contents of the USB storage device to be accessible to any local area (LAN) client using a DLNA-certified player.  Such as game console, smart TV, and media player.   

Requirement 
  • A USB 2.0 and 3.0 Storage Device 
NOTE 1: Supported file formats are NTFS, HFS+, and GPT.​

NOTE 2: USB 3.0 device requires a power adapter when being used with the 2.0 USB port
  • A DNLA-certified player is needed to use the DNLA Media Server feature.
