[@DavidM2002]

Don't ignore the warning at 9:00 regarding ensuring that your USB stick is formatted with FAT32 or NTFS. A lot of USB sticks come with ExFAT on them. I just glossed over that warning in the TP-Link manual and it cost me by way of unnecessary frustration. As soon as I realized what I had done, I formatted the USB stick with NTFS and all of the USB issues went away.

[@RaMarcus]

Good to reaffirm. Glad it's sorted now for you. 😉👍

[@GoBIGclan]

I've been looking into this for a month now and checked multiple forums, so many videos, asked around. None of them have provided the solution you have here! It looks like this is the way I'll go until we get USB streaming support. Thanks a lot man, cheers

[@RaMarcus]

I did the same thing with the zombie videos one year. Although it had the opposite effect. Never had so many trick or treaters. It was like a beacon. Though they didnt seem to mind as much when I ran out of sweets

Ha nice. I was at my door scaring kids as well. It was great to see people trying to dare each other to come knock! 😂

[@lamardoss]

TP-Links are genius stuff and really provide great solutions for many reasons. Better performance than Linksys. Love it... I will however add clarification for the 2.4 up conversion. You can connect to the different 5.0 network, but only for intranet and not internet. Internet is still being pipped out from your ISP’s modem/router at the same speeds it is limited to for anything connected to it despite what the end device is capable of receiving.

[@RaMarcus]

True, if you don't already have 5ghz this will only give you that speed between devices on the same network not with the Internet. But it's ideal for Virtual Desktop or ALVR to improve quality if you only have 2.4ghz.👌

[@GoBIGclan]

@@RaMarcus so from the TP storage to the Go (both on my 2.5gb internet network), my streaming speed will be 5gb?

[@RaMarcus]

Sure if you use the 5ghz band.

[@berighteous]

you can just use windows media player on your pc to stream to your network DLNA. My wife and I watch videos from my pc on our headsets at the same time in pigasus. If you have a good wifi, it works great.

[@RaMarcus]

That's a good option if you have a PC and are at home. This gives you options when you're out and about enjoying the outside world. 😉

[@berighteous]

[@shadowworlds]

good video. I got a plex server on my computer and then used skybox on my headset to access the plex server on my computer

[@RaMarcus]

Plex is a good option if you're happy to keep your PC on while out and about. There are a million ways to do this. 😉👍

[@peterjwest]

Good call on the TPlink. Handy for pretty much any device that you can't connect storage to via USB. I've just grabbed one as it'll be perfect for letting the wife watch stuff on her iPad when we're away from home.

[@RaMarcus]

Agreed, a useful little device to have. Large storage iPads are expensive! 😳

[@peterjwest]

The wife has one with 128gb but it's a pain in the butt having to connect it up to the PC and then load iTunes to put content on it. Much easier if I can just copy all the content to a USB hard disk and then share it between her iPad and all the other mobile devices we have. Good call!!

[@RaMarcus]

Ahh yeah it's a pain. Part of the reason I like Android in general, more PC like. 😉👍

[@UncleBobbo]

I just placed an order for one on Amazon. Hoping it becomes a decent device for samba shares to access media files while I'm traveling in hotels. Mainly for use with Archos video player and movies/TV shows stored on USB flash drives.

[@ReLive_Photos]

I’ve been using my home network (VRPC) and have a share folder on there together with another one for my 3D movies and all that good stuff. But this could be handy for travel use. You could also use an external drive that has a built in WiFi, I have one for my media server which is funky and about 2TB with a card slot also. Good video btw! You should be able to use that to copy the films or pics to the Go quickly also to stop loading times and lag

[@RaMarcus]

True, I have a drive just plugged into my router but I hardly add anything to it. This is going to be useful on car journeys with the kids and avoiding the silly high hotel WiFi costs if i share my 4G or even the single connection! 👍

[@davidgriffin79]

Yes, same here, I've got a 5GHz router in my bedroom and can access everything on the network share on my computer.

That's a good option. My router even has a USB port and I can access drives plugged in there. Loads of ways to get your media. 😉

Great video. Very thx. Have you ever tried the DLNA mediaserver-feature from Windows 7/10? You have full access to all you videos on your Windows-PC in "Skybox" or "Oculus Gallery". I guess many Oculus Go-users don't know this feature. How about a tutorial? ;-)

[@RaMarcus]

Yeah I've tried it. It's much the same as this really, just set up folders to share and you're away. There are a million ways to share and this was more to get people thinking outside the box. More tutorials to come for sure. 😉

[@RaMarcus]

Yeah that's a great device 👍

[@richardbrown8681]

Excellent comments, however, you might have better results from a DLNA Server using your smartphone @ no cost. I submitted an idea to Seagate to look at integrating their Bluetooth external hard drive into the oculus go platform. this, in my opinion, would solve a lot of the media access problems associated with storage limitations. At least for me and I am sure there are others in the same boat with me.

[@RaMarcus]

Yeha if you want to share files from your phone that is a good option. This device does have a lot of uses though which make it worth it.

[@bobford8]

Thanks for the great videos. Older user here in my early 50s, can you confirm for me that I will be ok to get the 32gb oculus go and use this to watch media from a usb stick instead of putting them on the oculus go or online. As I have a 360 camera and would like to show people the videos either through the headset or via an iPad. Thanks.

[@RaMarcus]

Sure, that's the idea here. Save you transfering media across you can just access the media server you create on this instead. 👍

Love it, thank you. Off to get one in the next couple of days.

[@RaMarcus]

Let me know if you have an issues and I'll try and help. 👍

[@bobford8]

[@baxorn]

Looks great for file transfers! I guess recording from Go with audio is still going to need a wired connection though eh?

[@RaMarcus]

The only way to record with audio is via Facebook. If you want to the best quality you'll use adb or the inbuilt recorder and capture the sound separately via another means (like a microphone or a line out).

[@imacmill]

Great video, RM. I assume for this to be used to improve the Virtual Desktop experience, it would have to be hard-wired to your network via the RJ45 plug, correct?

[@RaMarcus]

It can't be wired from your router but you don't have to. I've used a 5ghz connected to my PC and Go and got a smooth experience but there are other factors like interface from other networks which can affect it.

[@andrewthomson5266]

Watching your video about the tp-link I see my router allows sharing of a usb flash drive. I can see files from my go and as I don't have much need for a mini hub I have everything sorted for free.

[@Nigelannelouise]

Hi Marcus, great video as usual. I have a different set up that also works. I use a Seagate Wireless 500GB Drive, Model 1AYBA5 currently £60 on Amazon. This drive is completely portable and creates its own Seagate Wireless Network. Which allows wi-fi streaming to 3 users at a range of 45 mtrs. Allowing you to connect anywhere around the home or outside in the garden when weather permits. Format is NTFS it is Windows or Mac compatible ( i'm a Mac OS User ) which can give you problems trying to find a streaming solution to my Oculus Go. The MAC OS drivers are pre installed so it works out of the Box although its only partly charged you need to fully charge the drive. You can then either connect it via the included micro usb cable to your desktop or turn on its Seagate Wireless Network and connect it via wireless. The drive is compatible with all popular formats. You can create folders directly on the drive and add content or you can Drag and Drop its up to you. I have folders for MP4 Movies, SBS-3D, Samsung 360 Videos, Photo's and My Parrot BeBop Drone Clips Etc Etc. I had tried most Apps available that you had suggested to view this varied content. Some played some but not all. Thats until you shared your Pigasus Review, I purchased this and ever since WALLAH it all works brilliantly. You just connect Your Oculus GO to the Seagate Wireless Network open PIGASUS the drive appears on the Pigasus Screen, open it and theirs all your Folders. Select and play. So for £60 you have the portability as it has its own internal battery giving 8hrs of streaming or 20hrs Standby, up to3 users at any one time and 500GB to play with. They are relatively cheap now as they have been around about 5 Years I Paid £100 at the time. they are USB2 for connection purposes when using a wired connection to your Desktop. However Seagate are still selling these and the firmware is updated as and when required. Apologies for the long description but you did ask. Kind Regards NigelG

[@wrongway2001]

This could be a brilliant solution for me. My current setup is a combination wired/wifi network in the house with 5Ghz wifi. I store media on a fast media optimised Synology NAS which goes through a heavily used Gigabit 1000 network switch which connects to the 5G wifi. VR media still stutters when streamed to the Oculus Go from the NAS. The only solution so far has been to download from the NAS to a Macbook and then side load onto the Go. I am hoping the TP Link will give a wired network connection direct into the second ethernet port on the NAS and wifi connect 5G into the Go bypassing the existing burdened network. Thats if the 5G networks are happy to coexist and not interfere with each other. Even if that doesn't work, I can revert to plan B using it exactly as described in the video transferring to a memory stick etc. I'll find out when it arrives tomorrow.

[@RaMarcus]

That sounds complicated but also like it could work. Keep me updated. 👍

[@wrongway2001]

@@RaMarcus I managed to get hold of a AC750 this afternoon at a local Curry's. I had ordered one from Amazon at the same price and was in time to cancel. It's not cured the stuttering I was getting streaming video to the Go. These are VR180 videos from the Vuze XR. I have taken them at the highest resolution of course but anything streamed from external to the Go stutters using Skybox and even worse with Pigasaurus. If I sideload the files to the Go they play perfect . I have tried a Sandisk USB 3 pendrive which should be fast enough. Other than digging out an alternative to the Sandisk not sure what to try next. Have you tried this method with any 180 Vuze XR files yet?

[@RaMarcus]

Vuze files will be almost 6k so that's going to be a challenge for most wifi steaming solutions. I tried some 4k videos earlier and they played fine for the most part, seemed to pause for the first minute a bit but I guess it buffered and I was fine. But I guess on the Go you only really need 1080p footage, what res were you streaming? Could maybe be interference maybe? 🤔

[@wrongway2001]

@@RaMarcus I was streaming the 180 stuff from the Vuze in default res which I believe is 5.7k resolution. The Go seems to handle it sideloaded so it looks like the interface cant cope. I wonder if this is why they haven't enabled the USB port for OTG streaming.

[@Doubird28]

Question: first, Is the firmare out yet, and how do i get the new firmware that lets us use a portable hard drive to stream media from? And second: I only watch 2d movies so do I have to do the sideloading stuff or can I just plug in my hard drive or usb and stream directly? thanks

Firmware to plug in USB drives directly to your Go hasn't been released yet. You don't need a firmware update for this to work. You don't need to do any sideloading to connect to this WiFi hub.

Yes, it'll basically act as a wireless storage device for all your phomes tablets etc, just set it up and insert the usb stick with the content on it. it doesn't need to be connected to the internet unless you want to access a website.

[@rdinc.2035]

@@andyveale Thank you

[@RaMarcus]

Yup, as Andy says, you can use this anywhere as it'll be your own personal mobile network (with or without Internet if you add a device which has a connection).

[@writerdudesjs]

Does this work with the Gear VR and Samsung S9 phone?

[@RaMarcus]

Sure, it'll work with any WiFi device that can access DNLA folders.

[@fabulouspanda107xx9]

Do you have any that you recommend

[@dekahobby]

Can you play 5K vr 360° videos smoothly with this router? Using 2,4ghz connection? I cant find those router in my place, so i decide to use 2,4ghz up to 300mbps speed, is it emough for streaming 5K 360° videos?

[@RaMarcus]

It depends more on bitrate, I would recommend using the 5ghz spectrum for that sort of video quality. But yeah, plays smooth for me.

[@dekahobby]

@@RaMarcus so with 2,4 connection (speed 300mbps) is good enough for 60-100 mbps bitrate streaming video?

[@RaMarcus]

I'm not sure. In theory maybe but that'll have to be a pretty clean signal with no interference, which is hard these days.

[@fabulouspanda107xx9]

Hello, great video. Help me if you can(or anybody that knows the answer and has the time to reply). I got this drone Yu.... Br.... that does have some issues with the apps and apparatus. apparently, it can only connect to 5Ghz smartphones or tablets, and no ios app to go with it. A friend suggested to get an extender repeater that would do the job : The drone will connect to the extender....as well as your mobile/tablet. The extender will be like an interface between drone and mobile. For example, in my case...when I configured the extender, it created a new SSID....like Breeze.speed. I got the TP-LINK AC750, but I do not know how to setup the whole thing. CAN YOU PLEASE POST THE STEPS NEEDED BE TAKEN. THANKS!!!!

[@dasfreakster]

Where did you get your USB stick?

[@RaMarcus]

Amazon. Don't get cheap ones as they'll likely be fake. 😉

[@shadowworlds]

amazon is a good place to by all the goodies we use

[@combatgerbil3262]

ASDA also sell them, that's where I got mine, £15.

[@RaMarcus]

Bargain! 👍

[@walterdaems57]

Can I watch movies from my iPad with this device?

[@RaMarcus]

Sure if you have a media player app which can access DNLA servers. I'm sure there is, I just don't use IOS devices to test it.

Hi any idea when I set tp-link up it keep redirecting to the virgin website it's my broadband don't know what to turn or of just wondering any suggestions?

[@RaMarcus]

Are you entering the correct Web address? I know on my Virgin connection if I enter the wrong address it takes me to a Virgin site. Double check your instructions just in case they're different.

[@lexx1000]

Can i just ask what setting do u put it on. when I put it in on in the Ethernet connection my laptop and phone cut off on WiFi. I've put the website that comes on the leaflet. Sorry cannot found. Or unavailable driving me nuts lol

[@RaMarcus]

Is the switch on the middle option, I didn't say that in the video.

I may be being an idiot but i can’t figure this out When naming the folder on the drive i named it media, but when i try to press apply after selecting it, itsays i have used a / as in media/ but i didn’t and it won’t let me proceed I would appreciate any advice to solve this issue as i can’t figure it out Thanks

[@MichaelH-oz7ws]

Bought this device and set it up exactly as per the video. When I open Skybox on the OG and go into Network, however, instead of Mediashare it shows a folder with my actual name in capital letters (no gap between the first name and surname) and written on it is SMB. When I try to open this folder it asks for a user name and password and I am not sure exactly which ones to use. I have tried my Oculus account details but these are not accepted, so I am unable to access the folder. I assume I must have done something wrong but I have no idea what, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@RaMarcus]

Have you set up the media folders? Is the usb storage you've connected formatted correctly?

[@MichaelH-oz7ws]

Thanks for the quick reply. I am using a 128 Gb Corsair Voyager GTX USB flash drive which is in NTFS format and have named the folder “media” as per the video (why not?). Strangely, I have just tried again and this time no local media servers at all have been found despite selecting the AC750 as my wi-fi source on the Go and inserting my USB drive in it. It is probably user error (I am an OAP), although I previously managed to set up an AirScreen link with my Windows laptop without problems. I will probably go through the setup procedure again, but it is difficult to see what could be done differently to the original setup.

[@RaMarcus]

You need to make sure the media folder is shared within the Tplink software.

[@MichaelH-oz7ws]

Yes, I did that and saved it in MediaShare 1 exactly as per the video. I have also since gone back into the TP-Link USB Settings to confirm it is still there.

[@RaMarcus]

Is the switch on the side of the tplink in the middle position?

[@markchambers8641]

How do you get internet connection using as router??

[@RaMarcus]

Connect it to an access point, either via WiFi or Ethernet.

[@markchambers8641]

RaMarcus so you can’t use as router?

[@RaMarcus]

What are you getting at? You can use it to create a local wireless network or connect it to the net and share that connection. I wouldn't use it as your main home router.

[@markchambers8641]

RaMarcus I want to use as a main router when I travel.

[@markchambers8641]

It says it can be used as a main router.

[@ajith614]

Is it support 500Gb external hard drive to share files?

[@RaMarcus]

Sure.

[@ajith614]

Ok thanks sir

[@nownowsame]

Can it connect to a hotel WiFi that requires a webpage login?

[@RaMarcus]

From what I've read it's meant to be able to but I've not been able to test it yet. I'll let you know if I do. If the hotel has a wired connection you can share that for sure with the network cable.

[@nownowsame]

@@RaMarcus I bought one from your Amazon link. Right now I am at a hotel that requires a webpage login for their WiFi and the router works perfect. I just had to sign in to the hotels webpage from the first device I connected to my tplink WiFi.

[@RaMarcus]

Awesome, thanks for confirming. 👍

[@combatgerbil3262]

The same usb stick that I'm using on my Go..

[@RaMarcus]

It's a great little stick, I have a few and find them useful for connecting and transfering files all over the place. 👍

[@wrongway2001]

How do you use the usb stick with your Go. I thought we were still waiting for Oculus to enable that function on the Go. I have to sideload using a PC.

[@RaMarcus]

You can sideload Kodi (or a few other media) to access files on USB sticks. Not everyone is comfortable with sideloading.

[@jl8350]

Will this cause video stutter with 4k or 5k videos

[@RaMarcus]

It will generally be okay, depends on the bitrate/filesize, if it's something sensible then you'll be fine. Outside interference will be your biggest issue.

[@jl8350]

Ok thanks for the info

[@andyboa8107]

What max capacity hdd does it support?

Agreed. For those who haven't got a GO, it might be wise to wait a bit for the Quest. I like my GO though. It's been a ton of fun so far.
