Product Overview
A Media Sharing Platform
The ESR300 is designed to access and share media for
devices on the home network. In addition to connecting
USB Media Anywhere
with EnShare
TM
home entertainment components to any of its available
Fast Ethernet ports, the ESR300 also includes a USB port
for attaching a USB storage device so wireless devices in
the home or away from the home can access media content
wherever there is an available Internet connection through
EnShare™ - Your Personal Media Cloud.
EnShare is available as an Internet portal for accessing stored
media connected to the USB port of the router (See the
Using EnShare document in the product packaging). EnShare
will also be available as an app for Apple iOS devices (iPads,
iPods and iPhones) and Android-based devices (smartphones,
tablet PCs, Kindle and other mobile readers) soon. The apps
will be available through Apple iTunes Store and Google Play
respectively.
Attach USB storage to the ESR300 and access
video, music, and other media throughout
your home or away from home from your
smartphone, tablet, or laptop.
More Guest Access Options
The ESR300 also includes up to four (4) separate and discrete
Industry-standard Wireless Security
The router supports a variety of security features and
mechanisms including industry-standard WPA/WPA2 wireless
encryption to prevent unauthorized access to your network. It
also includes a built-in SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) rewall
to help prevent attacks from malicious software (malware)
from the Internet. The router also supports IPv6.
Guest Access options allowing the router’s administrator to
assign different names (SSIDs-Service Set Identiers) for each
login to the home network so friends or visitors can access the
user’s Internet connection without accessing personal data
stored on networked computers in the home.

When considering the placement of the
router
remember the following:
• It must be close to an electrical
outlet.
• For optimal wireless connectivity,
place the router near the center of
the room if possible, at a high level
Other electronic devices and some
architectural construction materials
or impediments may interfere with
the wireless signal(s) of the router
and reduce its range or coverage. Try
to minimize the number of walls or
oors that the router’s signal needs to
penetrate to connect to other wireless
devices.

Controlling the Router Through
Its Web Conguration Interface
10
Logging In
During the Quick Start Guide procedure, you should have
successfully logged into the router’s Web Conguration user
interface (essentially the router’s operating system that
controls how it operates) and established some initial settings
and controls for the router.
If you wish to change the router’s settings (establish a
new username and password for the person who manages
and maintains the router, set Parental Controls, establish
a Guest Access-SSID setting for visitors, or any number of
other settings) you can log into the Web Conguration again
through the web browser (Internet Explorer, Safari, Chrome,
Firefox) on your computer or tablet device.
To do this, enter the router’s default IP address of
192.168.0.1 into your browser’s address window.
1. At the login screen enter your username and a password
2. Click Login to continue.
The default login settings are:
username: admin
password: admin
It’s highly recommended that, if you haven’t done so already,
to change these default names, so your router and the devices
connected to it on your home network are more secure.
