Linksys E3000 + Actiontec R1000H

Post by zombie99x » Sun Jul 17, 2016 12:28 am

Hi, A quick question if I may,

I'm trying to setup a external hard-drive on my Linksys E3000 router so I can move files to it and listen/watch files from it on my tv. I have a Plex server on my pc with Roku on tv.

My idea is to have my hard-drive hooked up to the router and not have to fuss with it anymore then I need to, poked away in the corner, I have my pc connected to the modem, a ActionTec R1000H.

When I do connect my pc to the E3000 I can access the HD, but I'm not sure how to set it up so I can access the HD when hooked back up to the modem. I'm not sure what kind of settings I would need to set on the modem or router.

Is the any way to do this at all? or is the only way is to be hooked to the router?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
