Setting up a local area network
With the Vodafone DSL Router you are able to set up your own local area network and connect
any devices to it. Simply connect your compatible device (e.g. printer, external hard disk drive,
USB flash drive, etc.) to the USB port of the Vodafone DSL Router.
1. Display of connected devices
On the “Status” menu, under “Interfaces”, you may check any linked devices detected by the
Vodafone DSL Router: computers and USB devices (such as a storage medium or printer).
2. Using a shared printer
Connect your printer to the Vodafone DSL Router via a USB cable to the USB port (
6
, p. 6).
As soon as your printer is properly connected to the Vodafone DSL Router, you may detect it
on your computer. Now you can use the same printer from any computer connected to the
Vodafone DSL Router.
This function is compatible with a number of printers with a USB connection
capability. Scanners and all-in-ones are not compatible with this function.
3. File sharing
Share your files wirelessly with all the computers connected to your local area network. Just
connect your external storage medium (e.g. hard disk drive, USB flash drive, etc.) to the USB
port of the Vodafone DSL Router (
6
, p. 6).
In the “Devices” section on the Home Page, you can check the storage medium connected to
the Vodafone DSL Router.
Make sure that your computer is connected to the Vodafone DSL Router. Identify the
connected storage medium on your computer. By double clicking the medium, you will
have wireless access to the entire content of the medium. Use the same method to make
simultaneous use of the files saved by all the computers connected to the Vodafone DSL
Router.
