You can find this on the back of the router, in the device manual, or by searching for it online. On any computer connected to your Wi-Fi network, launch a browser, and navigate to your router's IP address. Once you've chosen your drive, plug it in. Check your router's manual to find out if there are any storage limitations, since some routers have a storage cap. The drive you share can be as small as thumb drive, or as large as a 3TB external hard drive. When it's set up, any files stored on that drive can be accessed by all devices on your network - even phones and tablets. Instead, you can use an external hard drive and your router to create networked storage accessible to anyone on your Wi-Fi network. Cloud storage is expensive, but it's not the only way to share a bunch of files across many devices.
