Got the new router firmware.
But it sure threw me for a few minutes until I figured out how to get to
things. I haven't used the IOS app that much to be familiar with it. So, when I
upgraded and couldn't figure out how to get to anything, it really baffled me
for a few minutes until I just pressed enter on one of the items as a whim and
sure enough, there were the items I expected.
Also, I have seen an article which states that the new firmware makes it
possible to get to files on an external storage device connected to the router
via the cloud. However, the article is vague about how this is accomplished.
In the previous firmware, there was something that one could set up called back
to my mac. One would leave their mac on and could then get to their files from
another mac remotely.
is this the same or different? How does one get to the files via the cloud from
another computer or device like the iPhone or iPad?
If one uses a windows machine remotely, how does one get to the files on the
storage device?
