Hello everyone.

I just bought a a VU SOLO2, and I'm learning its features and great capabilities.
I have a SAMSUNG SMART TV F6400.
both TV and SOLO2 are connected to a network using a TP LINK W4300 wireless router which can be connected to a external HD using a USB connection.

What I'm trying to setup is a way to share and access media files (especially HD video files) on my SAMSUNG TV, and also any other device connected to the network. (windows laptop, android phones, iOS devices etc...).
I don't have a PC always turned on to create a media server.

I know that both the SOLO2 and the router TP LINK W4300 can be set as DLNA servers. But I read bad experiences accessing video files using these 2 devices from the SAMSUNG Smart tvs.

What do you recommend? Is there a way to let the SOLO2 act a media server, using an internal HD or an external HD through USB, and allow all devices access these files??

Thanks in advance !

If you are attaching a USB hard drive to your router, doesn't that have DLNA media server capabilities?
