Hi guys,
I've just ordered my ner WiFi router (Netgear WNDR3800) and I'd like to use the ReadyShare USB feature to configure my ATV2-XBMC in order to use a Films folder contained on my USB HD.
If I'm not wrong the router can share video in DLNA too... wich is the best option?

Someone use a similar router with ReadyShare USB to strem video on ATV2? Any suggestion?


Thanks!

I got the DGN2200v3 and SMB readyshare is not working.
DLNA is working, but ATV2-XBMC seems not able to scrape correctly: I can access the video files but without any metadata usually I had using SMB mounted shares.
So my advice is to use SMB share if you can make it work.
