I have dir 810l router, can I attach some sort of rj45 to usb converter to this router, so that I may be able access files on my hard disk (seagate expansion)  wirelessly.
If not possible, should I purchase a router with shareport facility.  I need a router with good wifi range. What do you guys think about dir 850l.


I bought a 510l router on amazon, but returned it as it's 5GHz band range was very very small, couldn't even cross one wall.

• What Hardware version is your router? Look at sticker under the router case.
• Link>What Firmware version is currently loaded? Found on the routers web page under status.
• What region are you located?

You could connect a USB to LAN converter.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply . That was really helpful.

Will this work:

Do you think this tutorial and device will work, if I want to access these files on my iPad mini.

I don't have any experience with using adapters of this kind so I'm sure if it will or not. I presume it may. You'll need to contact the Mfr of that adapter and ask for help and information regarding it to see what it does and supports.

Thanks a lot for all the help.
 Does anyone else have any idea about these rj45 to usb converters?

One more thing, I know that N band in routers has better range than AC band, but what about download speeds(be it website or file download), which one is better.

[FurryNutz]

AC has better speeds.

I'll try and post my test results when I first got my 810L a while back.
