iTunes Server and AirPlay Setup for Routers
Set Up the Router as an iTunes Server
If your router can be set up as an iTunes server, the router’s iTunes Server lets you play
music from a USB storage device that is connected to a USB port on your router with iTunes
on your Mac computer or with the Apple Remote app on your iPhone or iPad. You can also
use the Apple Remote app from an iPhone or iPad to play music on any AirPlay devices,
such as Apple TV or AirPlay-supported receivers.
Note: The router shown in this image is the Nighthawk R7000.
