- If like me you're bored of waiting for OTG USB storage to come to the Oculus Go. Using a wireless hotspot device you can create a personal 5Ghz private network and connect your USB storage.
You can share the network with multiple Go's or other devices like tablets, PC's and smart TV's. Improve your Virtual Desktop connection if you only have a 2.4Ghz connection. Free up your USB port for charging so you can stay in VR for longer and still watch your movies on the "go". Never stop!
SET THE SWITCH ON THE SIDE OF THE TPLINK TO THE MIDDLE OPTION. SHARE HOTSPOT.

I forgot to say in the video. Make sure you have the tplink on the middle setting, the little switch on the box itself. Share Hotspot.
Bro please help me there is no USB settings in my tplink mr3020 router please help
Are you using the same device as in this video?
@@RaMarcus yes
@@RaMarcus
Yah but whenever I go to tplinkwifi.net it shows only 3 options quick setup,basic,advanced
When I went to advanced there is no USB setting option
Please help me as I bought it new today and I don't know what to do now
@@RaMarcus
Sire I want to tell you something I was not connected to internet in router and also in the USB port it says 3g/4g USB does your modem says the same as me
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
Have fun. 😉👍
Great vid btw i forget sometimes that some ppl are new to this kinda thing and may not know about this stuff lol good job brother
😎👍
Thanks! It worked for me on a quest 2!
great video. thanks for creating
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
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. 😉👍
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
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! 👍
Yes, same here, I've got a 5GHz router in my bedroom and can access everything on the network share on my computer.
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.
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.
Agreed, a useful little device to have. Large storage iPads are expensive! 😳
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!!
Ahh yeah it's a pain. Part of the reason I like Android in general, more PC like. 😉👍
Thank you so much for makeing this video answered that question I had I wonder did you make it because that question/video idea
It's been on my pad for a while and I couldn't find my other device so I bought a new one and it worked like a charm so thought I would crack it out. 😉👍
Nice
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! 😂
Thanks Remarkus. My recent set-up is, Oculus Go/ TP Link/ Intel Nuc I7 8th Gen mini PC/ 1 TB Sandisk SSD/ IPAD for PC monitor when needed. A nice briefcase and u have a mobile gaming FULL workstation. Wives may hate it but, I can get a whole lot of leave alone now. Thanks for the videos. U should look in to the mini pc, DLNA in ur bag. I have a secret world on my face 😎🤓😂😁
Thanks and I'll take a look. 😉👍
Hi this looks very handy for on the go, at home I stream direct from my pc , my book live or my phone 📱 using skybox.i also have a old wi-drive that works if you connect it to your oculus through the WiFi and access the files through the browser .
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. 😉
Thanks for sharing
😎👍
But is it any faster than streaming from PC? In my case streaming from PC using Flex server is too slow to play 4K 2100p VR videos. I have no problems from internal memory.
Can you use this device by connecting the 3G/4g hotspot on a mobile device
Couldn't quite get it to work for me. Just won't show up in skybox. Thanks anyways. I realized I can just use screen link by getting the sky box PC client. Is there any advantage to having the tplink over that?
does TL-WR902AC work on hotel network with captive portal (for internet access)
Here i found the Tl-wr902ac that has same specs, i noticed It is a fileshare so i could stream vídeos pluging an HDD on It and Oculus Go as well,them i could watch VR OR 3D movies directly from my hdd? Because thats what i want as well as play streaming from PC (steam VR)
Thank you
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.
Good to reaffirm. Glad it's sorted now for you. 😉👍
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.
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.👌
@@RaMarcus so from the TP storage to the Go (both on my 2.5gb internet network), my streaming speed will be 5gb?
Sure if you use the 5ghz band.
Works great - thank you much for the video! I have three HDD's and add/delete content on a regular basis. SkyBox often lists wrong video names and thumbs (usually of previously deleted files). Using Skybox's refresh and resort options do not help. There is no option to clear SKybox data history/cache I can find. I do a windows error check on the HDD's and no errors found. Any ideas?
PS: Any remaining faith OGO will ever support USB file access? It's been sooo long.
How would you do this using a PC external USB drive? Not Virtual Desktop, but VR media stored on PC external USB drive, instead of on Oculus Go.
Sir I have Huawei wifi dongle it does not connect to my tl wr902ac travel router please help me
I have the same TP-link AC750 but get stuck with the media server part. When I click on add new folder and browse no disk is found, so can't choose any map (media) on it. Does anyone have a suggestion? Drive is NTFS, also tried FAT32 but doesn't find it :-(
Ive been doing this with my asus gaming router, it has a usb 2 and 3.0 ports for sharing, many of them ive notice do now days if u bought an aftermarket one
Yeah my router does as well but I bet a lot don't, plus you can't take that router with you. Its a nice feature if you have it though. 😉
what you're saying is, you can use this to connect it to your home ethernet network and to an external usb drive to turn it into a NAS?
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
Thanks for this Nigel, interesting device and sounds like a bargain. Might have to check on out. Thanks for sharing. 👍
@@RaMarcus check out the User Guide on the Seagate Web Site. Kind Regards NigelG
Weird Part. I did everything and it still say no media server found... Even the hard drive is correct format. Create new folder. No idea why
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
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.
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. 😉
if you're out and about enjoying the outside world, why the hell are you wearing a VR headset? Reality > Virtual Reality. lol.
I followed all the steps, but at the end in sandbox it isn't pulling up the USB key, it is only showing my laptop which is connected to the same network
i'm confused.. i have broadband, few routers, wifi and i'm using laptop..
i want to watch movies & series, oculus go to laptop wireless with usb TB drive (i downloaded many of movies on avi..)
of course, i tried to put/plug usb in the oculus go to laptop wireless, i download skybox but nothing..
i tried to watch normal youtube and youtube vr but most it's blocked.... can you help me please expert marcus?
i haven't buy the tp-link ac750.. is it same or different router?
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?
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.
Can it be used as a print server for the USB printer?
I was searching for this video for soooooo long finally found it, thank you …. Btw I do have a question this router have two model wr902ac and mr3020 so do both do this file sharing or not because in my country mr3020 is comparatively cheaper
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.
What a cool little device! I think I'll grab one of those as I watch many 3D movies via SkyBox on my Go and it would be handy to have this as a tiny media server with an SSD plugged in hiding away in the corner of a room. Nice find, thanks for the video. Regarding file format then if you're into movies / tv shows then definitely NTFS format as FAT32 is limited to 4GB maximum per file size.
Thanks and yeah, I maybe should have mentioned the difference in formatting. 🤔
As you said, file formats is a whole new video 😝- Keep it simple, it supports NTFS and that allows bigger files so go for that, sorted 😎 ( unless you're using Mac or Linux which is then another whole video, ahem ). Great video though. I didn't know these things existed at such a great price so many thanks for peaking my interest in a new shiny gadget.
😁👍
Will I be able to save and access my games on this?
Very Interesting however I have a tp ilnk archer Router with built in media server USB and as yet have not managed to set it up yet pigasus sees the router but can't access the USB any tips ?.
Does it have the same set up process like in this video? You need to set up and assign a media folder and then it'll see it?
I've tried streaming vuze xr 5.7k(VR180 3D) videos using TP-link AC750 router using 5g wifi connection but it still buffers. Shouldn't 5g connection be fast enough? What can I change to fix it?
There maybe external issues affecting the speed as well, other WiFi networks can degrade performance. I would say 5.7k footage is pushing it but it will depend on the bitrate as it streams, can you recode at a lower rate as that may help.
Hi :) , you can put this micro usb stick to the GO ,and watch your mkv-avi-mp3...... vidoes or pictures thats on the stick ???
No, not yet. Although if you sideload media players like Kodi you can access them. Just not natively yet.
Whats the speed ! To copy stuff off
Does media sharing works during repeater mode?
Looks great for file transfers! I guess recording from Go with audio is still going to need a wired connection though eh?
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).
Im planning to do something like this,but i need this tplink right? So my question is: If i connect on this tplink to PC on same wi-fi , Will It stream much from my internet? Because using remote link via PC to smartphone many times heavy much and lag much my internet.
Also can i connect my PC via cable to this tplink device?
Its awersome because It has an "private" lan network so i can connect onto my PC and stream vídeos without worry about other people making some trouble...but again thats my 1st question issue, if i have this and example my brother going to watch something on router or download, Will It heavy my conection? I want something like an AD HOC to oculus Go...It could be more safe,right? Imagine when my internet Go down...i cannot play on my VR linked to PC?
Do you know If today (2020) oculus Go support play vídeo directly from USB?
Does this still work? With Skybox? With Quest 2?
Thank you now i like to see a video how to do it with a nas
Just set up a NAS and it's pretty much the same, connect to the network and you should see your NAS. I'm. Not sure I'll ever do a video but I'll add it to my pad. 👍
i can not get it to work help mei count make a foulder
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.
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.
I've got a zoom go wifi media share device would the media player work with that
Should do, if it works the same then give it a go and see. 😉👍
But where do you store the media when your fishing with your GO? ;)
lol, you joke but the Real VR Fishing game can play your own music... Wonder if it can see this. 🤔
Thanks, great video! I wonder how will this work with streaming [like playing beat saber or something with it and ALVR\RiftCat... did\will you try it?
Also - I'd like to know how will it work for the oculus quest... we'll have to wait and see I guess.. :)
We've already spoke about this in my Discord. But I can't see why it wouldn't work with the Quest as it's just wifi and it won't know the difference.
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.
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.
Let me know if you have an issues and I'll try and help. 👍
Thank you
I have a mobilelite wireless g3 for that it's cool. It also has built in power and 5ghz.
Perfect, how much was it?
@@RaMarcus $24. www.amazon.com/dp/B019PY0ORK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_CwCrCb3FMGR6A
Bargain then. Nice. 👍
@@RaMarcus yeah especially because you can use it as a battery bank as well. 😁
Win win, got it all covered 👍
Do you have any that you recommend
Can we use this for ALVR to play steam games without being connected to the internet??
Sure, if you don't have a 5ghz connection and want to improve the connection between devices on your network it would be great. Your Internet would still be 2.4ghz speed but you'll get a faster connection between devices. If you took a laptop out to the middle of no where you could still use this to connect the Go and ALVR.
@@RaMarcus that's great! Thanks
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? ;-)
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 yeeees I'd love a tutorial on this method as well. Use the PC to DLNA method at home and that nifty tplink option on the go.
As a result of watching this video I bought one, but I think it may be faulty as it only shows up in my network devices when connected to my router with the ethernet cable. I got the impression from your video that it should show up without having to be connected with a cable i.e. wirelessly - is that correct or am I missing something? Also could you please clarify which mode - Access point, range extender or client mode? I am setting it up so Can access media through a USB device. Hope you can help. Thanks in advance
Middle setting for the switch. And yes, it should appear as it's own network which maybe that the switch is in the wrong place. I didn't confirm the switch position in the video but pinned a comment. Hopefully it works for you.
Also, what the heck. The go website says storage should work? People could read that and buy a headset expecting it to work.... Thats so wrong.
Yup, it's naughty! It is coming but they shouldn't show that yet. Maybe it was released early.
Hey Marcus would you like to play Altspacevr right now?
About to record a video mate. Be sure to join my discord to get to speak to me quicker than on here. Discord.ramarcus.com
Hi just a suggestion. I have the SanDisk Connect 32GB Wireless Media Drive, it has wifi and you can insert an sd card and stream your movies directly in the oculus. So you don't need anything else. Maybe you could check it out. thanks
Yeah that's a great device 👍
Does this work with the Gear VR and Samsung S9 phone?
Sure, it'll work with any WiFi device that can access DNLA folders.
Is there a way you can talk to people on oculus go ??? I got one for Xmas so it is new to me
Oculus Parties? Some games and apps have in game chat. 👍
Play dead and buried streets it's a good intro to talk to people there is nothing quite like making friends whilst trying too kill them LOL
Awesome! Gonna pick one up. Thanks for all your awesome vids!! Will the oculus read files larger than 4 gigs?
Can you store files larger than 4 gigs on an external harddrive that is connected to this device and view them on the oculus go?
If so, how?
Format your drive using Ntfs format and you can. 👍
Awesome thanks bro! Appreciation and high five from California
👋😎
Another option - if you have enough storage on your phone, just save the videos on your phone, download Kodi, add the videos to kodi, then enable UPnP on Kodi. Turn on the hotspot and connect to it.
Yeah a good suggestion 👍
can you do step by step video please
Could you review Vendetta Online on OGO please :)
I'll add it to the list. 😉👍
I've been using the PC Skybox app to transfer files to the Oculus Go Skybox app. Streaming videos stored on my PC, to the Go, wirelessly.
But of course, it isn't portable as the TP link is. Really neat solution for portability.
Do you know of any way to stream Amazon (or similar premium) videos to the GO?
Amazon works in the Browser I believe if you choose desktop site from the options. Or just sideload the app and use in Oculus TV. 😉
@@RaMarcus I can access the video site itself, quite easily, but clicking of any video, nothing happens. I understand there is an Amazon video app for Android. But the app isn't available from Oculus store.
You seem pretty genned up on the latest work arounds, wondering if you had heard of one for this?
www.amazon.co.uk/Amazon-com-Amazon-Prime-Video/dp/B00N28818A
As I said, if you use the Oculus Browser to go to the website, use the browser menu to select Desktop Site, and it should work. Other than that, sideload the android app.
@@RaMarcus Desktop Mode and it's working perfectly. No idea what that is, but thankfully we have you to keep us on track.
Anyway, just watched a episode of Grand Tour.
Thanks so much for your continuing support. 👍
Glad it's working mate. 👍
At 18:26, in settings your Operation Mode shows HOTSPOT. Mine shows WISP. Ideas?
Does it have the latest firmware.
@@RaMarcus OGO yes latest firmware. Not sure on TPLink. For some reason my OGO disconnected from TPLink and back to my wifi connection while I was testing. Skybox working now.
Any ideas on WISP vs HOTSPOT in settings? THANKS!
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.
Perfect, my router is the same, has a USB port. If you don't need a mobile hot-spot while out and about then you're sorted! 👍
How did you set it up? I have the tether app but can't see the USB set up bit ?
@@peterthomson6457 On my Asus dsl-ac68u there is an option to setup file sharing see this video www.google.com/search?q=dsl-ac68u+usb+setup&oq=dsl-ac68u+usb+setup&aqs=chrome..69i57j33.18588j1j7&client=ms-unknown&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#kpvalbx=1
And that doesn't work?
Ahh okay, I thought you were asking me why it doesn't work. But if it does then perfect. 👍
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?
It depends more on bitrate, I would recommend using the 5ghz spectrum for that sort of video quality. But yeah, plays smooth for me.
@@RaMarcus so with 2,4 connection (speed 300mbps) is good enough for 60-100 mbps bitrate streaming video?
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.
Can I watch movies from my iPad with this device?
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.
it keeps going to virgin hub 3
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!!!!
I have an oculus go my favourite game is ultrawings
It's a fun game.. 👍
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.
That sounds complicated but also like it could work. Keep me updated. 👍
@@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?
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? 🤔
@@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.
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?
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.
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
Is the switch on the middle option, I didn't say that in the video.
Thanks mate I'll give it a try. 2 other questions what do u do for a living and how what does ur wife think about u being in vr so much. Mines hates it 😁 vids are fab
I'm self employed, VR media production but very early days. And she doesn't mind, she plays video games and loves playing Beat Saber on my Rift. 😉
Is it support 500Gb external hard drive to share files?
Sure.
Ok thanks sir
Can it connect to a hotel WiFi that requires a webpage login?
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.
@@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.
Awesome, thanks for confirming. 👍
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.
Have you set up the media folders? Is the usb storage you've connected formatted correctly?
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.
You need to make sure the media folder is shared within the Tplink software.
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.
Is the switch on the side of the tplink in the middle position?
What max capacity hdd does it support?
I found on amazon feedback it can manage 4TB 2.5" hdd without external power to the hdd.
Would this work without a router, say like in a car?
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.
@@andyveale Thank you
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).
Can you use the usb to plug in 2tb harddrive and access it wirelessly?
Yes.
Thanks bro. Just ordered now online
@@RaMarcus it supports? A 2tb USB 3.0 NTFS HDD? With stock tp link software??
@@NikhchansGaming bro it support not only 2tb but my whole usb hub, then connected onto it several hdd. they become wireless.
@@gingerbread185 insane!
Cant you just plug it into your pc and make a folder giving you access to all that folder info
You don't need this to share folders on your PC. Just share folders on your network.
@@RaMarcus thanks amazing you really gave me some great advice....
Sounds like something for the quest 🤔
Yeah, I'm sure it'll be mostly the same on the Quest.
Will this cause video stutter with 4k or 5k videos
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.
Ok thanks for the info
can it run from power bank?
yes
Where did you get your USB stick?
Amazon. Don't get cheap ones as they'll likely be fake. 😉
amazon is a good place to by all the goodies we use
ASDA also sell them, that's where I got mine, £15.
Bargain! 👍
How do you get internet connection using as router??
Connect it to an access point, either via WiFi or Ethernet.
RaMarcus so you can’t use as router?
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.
RaMarcus I want to use as a main router when I travel.
It says it can be used as a main router.
Have you tried Plex?
Yeah and it works well. But more effort to set up and you need to have your PC on when out and about, but it's a good option. 👍
@@RaMarcus Yes, very true but it's another good option. I use plex but I will be getting one of these for the road as well.
Best of all worlds. 😎👍
@@RaMarcus does the Go Plex app read as a player? meaning if your phone and Go are on the same network can you cast plex media right to the go from the phone. using the phone as the server.
I'm not sure about your phone being the server but you log into your plex account and then automatically have access to any Plex servers you've set up.
Hay have you got a telegram channel would like that zombie vid
Telegram channel? If you search UA-cam for Zombie Projection you'll find it. 👍
RaMarcus thanks will have a look
How do I make this connect to my Xbox one
You should be able to connect it to the WiFi just like you normally with an Xbox.
@@RaMarcus I did that and I still lag
Are you connected on the 5gz network?
@@RaMarcus I don't think so
@@RaMarcus can you walk me through what I'm supposed to do because I don't want to keep going through this 🤦
The same usb stick that I'm using on my Go..
It's a great little stick, I have a few and find them useful for connecting and transfering files all over the place. 👍
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.
You can sideload Kodi (or a few other media) to access files on USB sticks. Not everyone is comfortable with sideloading.
Dude as if anyone knows where you live and after we can still see it
You never know who might be stalking me...
Hiii
👋
Fuck the sticks off mate with the router you can get one of those 2 TB portable SSD's so the router is the superior option, also you're gonna want to reformat it to NTFS as FAT32 has a max file size of 4 GB
The Oculus Quest couldn’t get here fast enough.
It's still a few months off, at least, should be a great device. I imagine it'll be able to access files from this as well. 👍
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.
