EA6500 Sharing Remote Media Files How does this work?

I don't understand how to do this.
I had thought that using the Guest Feature would work but not.
Here is what I want to do.  I want to use the Router USB ports for Flash Drives and allow remote users to view that media.
I had thought that allowing someone to remotely access Smart Wifi  (myrouter.local) as a guest to view this media would work.
However, guest access only works if the guest can see the router wireless signal.  That means they have to be in range of the EA6500 so I don't really see what value guest access has.
So I would have to give them my Smart WIFI login information for router access, not good.
So how do I do this?  For example, someone is on vacation, on a cruise, in a cabin on their vacation network accessing the internet.
How do I let them access the USB flash drive on the router?
Can you give guest access to a remote user?
That would be ideal. 
Or can you use FTP to allow them to view the USB flash drive on the router.  How do you do this?
Can someone supply some clarity to me.  I am confused.
Thank you

The guest access feature of the router is well for guests only. The purpose for this is to allow other people to connect to your wireless network but they do not have access to your local network (no access to your computers). This feature is available for wireless connection only and will be in the local network and not for accessing the router remotely.
If you would like other people to access your files or shared media then FTP will be the answer for that. You can set up or create shares that will have permissions like read only or you can setup read and write only.

  • Was told a USB device would create a PDF automatically from the data contained within when plugged into my USB port. Doesn't seem to work. How does this work and how can I fix the device I received?

    Acrobat is not on the USB device - only Adobe Reader needed on the PC. How does this work? How can I fix this device if at all?

    You need to ask the people who sold it to you. Doesn't sound like it has anything to do with Reader.
    However, you should be wary of devices that automatically try to open files when plugged in. They can also infect your computers with all kinds of viruses or malware.

  • My iPhone was stolen and I have contacted the police who are using the meid number to locate.  How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back?

    My iPhone was stolen.  I used Find My iPhone app to lock it and display a message.  The phone has not connected to the internet to locate it.  I contacted the police and they have taken my meid number.  How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back?  Are there other ways the theif can use it.  I was told once they put in a new sim card and use it, whatever software the police have, it will show up.

    Honestly? In the US (I can't speak to other countries, though I doubt it works much differently in a lot of the world) The police took your report and filed it either in their computers or, on paper. They will now not think of this again. The only time it will cross anyones mind is if, in the course of entering information into evidence about items recovered or seized at a crime scene, the serial number of an iPhone that was found/seized happens to match yours, in which case you will be contacted.
    The police in the US can and will do nothing to 'blok' the phone and it's not worth their time to try and locate it unless you know for a fact that it was stolen by a big time drug lord, master criminal, or some other such prime target and they can get a court order to track the location of the phone in order to locate this individual for your own purposes.  If they do that, they'll probably keep him under surveilance for a year or so before they act.
    Basically, the police don't care about your phone. If they find it, they will give it back to you. They are not, however, going to go looking for it. They have better things to do.
    I'm sorry, but that's the way it is.

    You need to transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup you made before the hard drive was replaced.
    You can't transfer the full iTunes Library from the iPad back to iTunes.
    There are third-party Windows applications that will transfer data from an iOS device, but they don't re-create the iTunes Library exactly as it was before.

    It should be added either to your iTunes account, or possibly to your credit card if the purchase was made on with it.
    How long ago did you get the email ? It may take 48 hours for it to appear - if it's been longer than that and you can't see it on your iTunes balance (and you've tried logging out and back into the account to see if the balance updates) nor on your credit card then try contacting Support again, and include your case number if you have one.

  • How does this work with multiple systems backing up with time machine

    I was wondering as Apple states that this will do multiple time machine backups as in multiple computers, how does this do this? I am assumng that it will require me to partition the srive in the unit as multiple partitions. 1 for each time computer with time machine running.

    I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure how to interpret your answer so I'll ask for clarification.
    Do you mean that the backup belonging to each user will be protected by filesystem perms? In other words Alice's backup will be owned by Alice and only readable by her, ditto for the hyperthetical Bill?
    I guess in other words, does Time Machine preserve file ownership perms?

  • How does this work?

    This is not a complaint, but a confused sigh of admiration. I've got an email account at the university where I teach. When I got my iBook, it took me a while, and a few conversations with IT at the school, to get this account working in the Mail application. (Since I have a Verizon DSL at home, I had to include that SMTP as the outgoing server.) Anyway, I synched this mail account (along with my AOL and .Mac accounts) onto the iPhone, and it works perfectly, both incoming and outgoing. I didn't have to change any of the settings. I thought I was computer savvy, but I can't wrap my mind around this. It seems like magic. How does it work?

    The sync process with iTunes transfers the email account settings (for your chosen accounts via your iPhone sync preferences) from the Mail application on your Mac to the iPhone's email application.
    The iPhone is running OS X and the iPhone's email client can be considered a mobile version of the Mail application.

  • Sync metadata to multiple files - how does that work?

    Frustrating.  In Library Module of LR4.4 under Vista 32, I have corrected a "Capture Time" of a single jpg Photo via the "Edit Capture Time" dialog.  The new date correctly shows up in the "Date Time Original" EXIF field of the Metadata panel on the right.
    Now, I want to sync that date to other jpgs which all come with incorrect "Date Time Original" - so, I highlight the above photo, mark the other ones to less light grey, press "Sync Metadata".  THe dialog of  "Sync Metadata" appears, showing the new date under "ICPT image" as "date created" - so far so good.  I mark that field, and press the ok button and the sync runs.  After that, no change is shown to the respective field of any of the photos metadata fields to be sync'd, no sync has actually happened, and even the "Save Metadata to file" command does cure this situation.
    Using the command with a single target file instead of multiple ones does not help either.
    What does help?
    Why can't I update a set of superold pictures to their correct "date created" date via Metadata sync? This Metadata sync does not sync.
    thanks for comments

    Well, of course, one can always take the escape route to software that works. - 
    However, IF Adobe advertises "Metadata sync" in a software licensed for money, THEN this function should work. Am I right or am I right?
    I found, that particularly the one single Metadata field "Capture time" can be set for a multitude of images (selected before using this command from the pulldown menue) - which helped for my problem.  But what about other Metadata fields, if the "Sync Metadata" function does not work as intended?  No word in the documentation such as "there is a function "Sync Metadata" but please do not expect ANY function at all when using it".
    Using a freeware such as ExifMeta to get arund a "non-function" is not the purpose of using a software such as Lightroom - please understand.

  • The Daily Show Multi-Pass: how does this work?

    I subscribed to the Daily Show Multi-Pass. The store said it was busy and try again later. So I thought I'd do it later but meanwhile got an email saying I had the multi-pass and 9.99 has been deducted from my account!
    The email has a link to view account preferences. It says that 2 of the 16 episodes have been downloaded - nothing has been downloaded (and only one show is currently available).
    According to the email: "You will receive an email when future episodes of The Daily Show are available and the episodes will be downloaded automatically to the account listed above the next time you sign in to iTunes." What? When is that?
    It would be great if this worked with RSS like podcasts instead of some mysterious download time.
    Is this working for anyone?

    Okay here's what you have to do: Go to the Music
    Store, and click the button with your e-mail address
    at the top right (below "browse"). Then click "Sign
    out" in the popup. Then click where your e-mail
    address used to be to sign in again. Your episode
    will start downloading.
    This is a stupid way for Apple to do it, but at least
    it technically works so until they make it easier
    this is what we're going to have to do every day.
    Argh!
    Hmmm...when I did the above, it ran through the "Checking for purchases" before starting the download. So I wonder if doing the "Check for purchases..." selection under the Advanced menu would do the same thing without the hassle of logging out and in. I'll give it a try tomorrow...

  • Want to upload files from an external hard drive.  How does this work?

    I am new to the Mac world and have old files from my PC that I want to transfer on to my Time Capsule.

    Click anywhere on the open desktop so that the Finder menus are displayed at the top of the screen.
    Click Go > Network
    Double click the Time Capsule icon, then double click the icon representing the drive to mount it on the Mac's desktop. It is named "Data" unless you have changed it
    You can drag/drop files to the "Data" icon on the desktop
    235 GB is going to take forever if you try to do this using wireless. If at all possible, connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule.
    Even using Ethernet, you are probably looking at 10-12 hours for the file transfer.  All bets are off with wireless only, but a guess would be several days....or even more.

  • Installing Lion to Sell Computer... How does this work?

    I want to sell my computer, but I want to buy Lion and install it... but does it get attributed to my account? How can the new owner have the OS under their name with the digital download?

    G'day,
    The license agreement that you will read carefully and agree to before installing Lion says that "you are granted a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license:"
    Thus, when you sell the Mac, you should sell it with the restore disks that came with the machine, and running the OS that is on those disks.
    That means doing an erase and install of whatever OS the machine came with.  For example, on my 2007 MacBook... that would bust the new owner back to Tiger.  Although... I would probably sell it with my retail box of Leopard, which could be the base OS for the new owner.
    Cheers,
    Rodney

  • TS1496 How does this work for a Mac Pro?  Just did an update and my iPod video click is no longer recognized by iTunes or in finder but shows do not disconnect.  What do I do?

    I downloaded the latest update of iTunes 11.4 today - Columbus Day.  Went on to purchase songs.  Then attached classic iPod to sync.  upon attached usb to iPod, the "Do Not Disconnect" message appeared.  Waited a long time and iTunes would not recognize my iPod.  (10 minutes minimum.  Gave up counting)  Shut down iTunes and restarted.  Still no recognition.  Restarted computer - Wouldn't start.  Unplugged USB and then it started.  The only way to get computer to start up again was to unplug - now I'm worried that I've just screwed up my iPod.  Upon starting back up - plugged iPod back in - sell no recognition.  Am I up a creek with no paddle now?  My iPod- touch is recognized and I was able to update it successfully.  With that being said, it took a heck of a lot longer than it normally does post update.  Was this the update that no longer likes classic iPods? 
    I have a brain injury and the classic is helpful at night when I can't fall asleep and I can play soothing stuff to help calm my brain down.  The touch is way to bright and can cause lots of bad reactions due to light sensitivity - way too much blue light to trigger issues.  The click wheel doesn't take so many moves to get to what I need. 
    Thank you to anyone that can help save my classic.  medical bills are high and I can't afford to buy a new one.  Two hours later, my classic still says do not disconnect and my computer does not recognize.
    Thank you to any one for the ability to provide insight and troubleshooting.
    pooped out.

    1. Try Resetting the iPod. Hold Select and Menu for 6-10 seconds - until you see the Apple Symbol.
    2. Use iPod Updater to restore your iPod to factory settings.
    See if those two steps clear up your problem.
