Tips:
The modem router can share eight volumes at most. You can click on the page to detach the corresponding
volume you do not need to share.
¾ To Set up Authentication for Data Security
If you enable Authentication, network clients will be required to enter the username
and password you set when accessing the USB disk.
1. Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, then log in with the password you set for the modem
router.
2. Select Advanced > USB Settings > Sharing Access.
3. Choose to use the default Account (admin) or use a new account and click Save.
Note:
For Windows users, do not set the sharing username the same as the Windows username. Otherwise, Windows
credential mechanism may cause the following problems:
• If the sharing password is also the same as the Windows password, authentication will not work since the
Windows will automatically use its account information for USB access.
• If the sharing password is different from the Windows password, the Windows will be unable to remember
your credentials and you will always be required to enter the sharing password for USB access.
4. Enable Authentication to apply the account you just set.
• If you leave Share All enabled, click the button to enable Authentication for all
folders.
