Smart Hub 2 on FTTP

[sea2dog]

What exactly would you use the USB connection for on the Smart hub 2?

Media server/network drive

@NigelB72

Is that similar to a VPN? 

[imjolly]

no

for say storing music/films/tv series and making it accessible to devices on your internal network

[NigelB72]

Nope.. you can put music/films etc on a USB stick or USB harddrive and share the files all round your house to compatible devices via your WiFi network.

Ah ok, thanks. 😊

[NigelB72]

No worries

@NigelB72

So would other devices that are connected to the smarthub see the USB drive on their phone under the WiFi settings for that particular hub? 

[sea2dog]

I'm just trying to find out where they would go on their phone device to enable them to see any such drive connected to that USB port.

Do I need to add the network manually under WiFi settings or would it show automatically once connected?
