UPnP Media Server
If you have UPnP AV-enabled (or DLNA-certified) devices
in your home, then you can use the Router as a media
server. Examples of UPnP AV-enabled devices include a
digital media adapter, a gaming console with a built-in
media player, or a digital picture frame.
For example, if you have a digital media adapter that sends
content to your entertainment system, then the digital
media adapter can locate the Router using the UPnP AV
standard. The folders you specify can then be accessed
and played by the digital media adapter.
