Install and Back Up Files to Amazon Drive
Your router allows you to back up your media files to Amazon Drive. Amazon Drive is a cloud storage
application that allows you to remotely store, back up, and share media files. In the United States, NETGEAR
offers a promotion code for a free three-month trial of Amazon Drive.
For more information about Amazon Drive, visit https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/home.
To install and back up your USB storage device to Amzaon Drive:
1. Connect your USB storage device to a USB port on your router.
If your USB storage device uses a power supply, you must use it when you connect the USB storage
device to the router.
When you connect the USB storage device to the router’s port, it might take up to two minutes before
it is ready for sharing. By default, the USB storage device is available to all computers on your local
area network (LAN).
2. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the network.
3. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
