Speaker 1
a media server under external storage cuz I don't see one under this one. Yes, and yeah. It's supposed to be a media server under the external storage. Now, I updated the firmware and all that, but I still don't see it, and it recognizes the USB. So, I'm just wondering is it under all of them? Cuz I just purchased it, so I'm about ready to send it back. So, maybe it's some download I need. Yeah. Yeah, and I probably went in there. Yeah, it recognized it, but it but the tabs are missing.
01:00
Speaker 2
Okay, you're uh, you're referring to the MR7350. Yeah, there's actually a USB, um, port, USB 3.0 port in, in then intended for hard drive support only, sir. [silence] Mhm.
01:00
Speaker 1
There's no tabs under there. And I look on the site and all your websites says, supposed to be a tab there, tabs there, like the media server tab. There's no tabs at all. Yeah, yeah, exactly, it's apparent. It was, is connected to my, uh, modem. So it was, it's, yeah. So it sees the USB port, fine. But it just don't have those tabs for the media server. Is it, is it a download I need, that's what I'm wondering. Is it something you have to activate? Yeah, I did, yeah, I did both of them. I had the, I did the interface because it says only for extern, for the, uh, external storage, you can only do the web. So I got into the web, but I got both.
02:00
Speaker 2
Where did you connect it? Is it connected to the main node? Yes. Hold on. Let me just... Were you able to access the user interface of this links router? [silence]
02:00
Speaker 1
Apps. At the time, so. But should it be, should it be a media server on all of them? Or not? Or is it just separate ones? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Okay, this one I'm doing. Because if you... Let's see here. When you go under the tab, when you go into the, it actually shows a media server tab. When you go to the picture, it actually shows you that. I see none. [silence]
03:00
Speaker 2
It's actually just a media storage, sir. So you can the media server function can be enabled on the router to to share media files, actually, stored on your USB drive with your other devices on the network. [silence]
03:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, it's missing. Let's see here. No, not at all. It's missing. It's just, you know. So I got this one because I have an extra. Exactly. Yeah, I have the external storage. Yes, it's there. I put the USB in there, and it recognizes it. But go right here. Yeah. But after that, there is nothing else. There's no tabs. All you can do is just see it. And you can put the password. So if you want to go in and see it on the computer Right, which I can. But it should be a media,
04:00
Speaker 2
Let me verify that, sir. Hold on. So, you don't see that option on the user interface. No storage option, external storage. You don't see that there. Yes. And you see and yeah, go ahead, sir. Sorry. Yes, username and password because that's for um that's how your other wireless devices would be able to access the, uh the storage. [silence]
04:00
Speaker 1
your server tab there. if not, it's missing. Oh, Rick. yeah. Madden. Uh, just, yeah, it's just a general question. If you have it, you don't because I'm really sending this thing back, so. Yeah. Okay, that's all I want to know because when I go to the internet and you put it in there, it'd say M R 7350 has you can get to the media server once you put the drive in, you go to the external storage, and it should be sitting there because that's the way I can can do it with my TV. So I can share because they need that DDLNA. Right, where I can share with the TV. So you need that media server because that's how you'll uh,
05:00
Speaker 2
Okay, let me just have that verified, sir. Um, can I put you on hold for uh three to four minutes? By the way, it wasn't able to get your name. Rick, last name is? How do you spell it? Okay. All right, let me just put you in hold so I can have this jack. Okay? Yes. Yes.
05:00
Speaker 1
I don't have that that media server to turn it on so it doesn't have that DLNA where I can go serve it but I can see the USB from my computer and stuff. I can do that from my tablet I can see all that. But I can't go see it on TV Cuz I need the media server which it says it has but it doesn't have so I'm just wondering if there's a certain is it a download Cuz I updated the firmware maybe it's a download that make that pop up that's all I'm asking. Okay I'll wait for a minute. Yeah cuz I'm just gonna send it back maybe I'm wrong you know that's why I'm calling you so. All right. [silence]
06:00
Speaker 2
So your smart TV is unable to access it? OK. Yes, let me just have this checked first, sir, okay? I really do apologize. Just hold on, please. Yes, thank you. OK. All right. No worries. Just hold on.
06:00
Speaker 1
oh yeah oh yeah yeah
11:00
Speaker 2
hello sir Rick hi there thank you so much for patiently waiting I really do apologize for the hold sir I actually have this verified uh with my intermediate superior okay yes uh it seems that your uh your TV is the DLA enabled okay um
11:00
Speaker 1
Oh. No, it's pretty new. It may be five years old. It's a LG. It has every- all the functions in it. Yeah. But shouldn't the tabs still show up in there though? I mean, the tabs don't even show. And when you go to the external storage, it doesn't even show up. I'm missing a tab. That's all I see. Yeah, yeah, but when
12:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, unfortunately, this Linksys router doesn't have DLNA as one of its features. So it's really not compatible. Okay. How long have you kind of been using this TV, sir? Is it an older model of a TV? [silence] LG TV. Uh-huh. Yeah. Come again. Well, the only options that you, you know, the only options that you see usually on the Linksys router is the external storage. It only has that, yes, that only has that options or it has minimal settings. No other advanced configuration for the USB.
12:00
Speaker 1
I go to the website for your sites and stuff it says it does have it it says it has a tab for it and it show all it shows the media server tab it shows it all it's like four tabs under there that's why I saying it's um let me see if I can find it uh yeah yep same mom that's why I was wondering to update the firmware so uh okay so in other words it doesn't have it but it's saying it does it capability to work with your smart TVs and stuff so and it has it has that capability but you saying it doesn't right
13:00
Speaker 2
which specific tap? Is that the, uh, the same, does it have the same model number? Because maybe that's a different firmware or, uh, that is a. Yes, it doesn't have the, it's not DLNA enabled. So, uh, now since your TV has that feature, it might not be compatible. So that's the reason why right now it's not working.
13:00
Speaker 1
okay alright well I gotcha thank you alright
