[Tutorial] Using Your NETGEAR Router As A Bit Torrent Client For Downloading / Seeding

This Tutorial unlike my other one has been taken from the NETGEAR website and has been edited/improved by me (Unlike the "ASUS" version that I wrote from scratch.) as I do not own a NETGEAR router capable of this feature. If you attempt this Tutorial and find it to have any issues or have any info to add to improve the steps listed below please comment below and I will update this tutorial and in the end all of us here at TeamOS will have a better than that provide from NETGEAR.


This Tutorial will provide a step-by-step procedure on how to enable and configure the NETGEAR Downloader feature.

List Taken From NETGEAR Support Page & Should Be Accurate But Is To Be Used As A Guide.


Before configuring the NETGEAR downloader feature make sure to have the following:
  • External Hard Disk Drive or Thumb drive compatible with the ReadySHARE of the router
To configure NETGEAR Downloader feature:

  1. Make sure the external hard drive or thumb drive you are going to use is in the compatible list of the router you have. Please visit this link:

    Note: The list contains the external hard drives and thumb drives which were proven devices that works properly with the NETGEAR device that you purchased but it is not limited to what you can use as not all thumb drives and external hard drives were tested.
  2. Connect the external hard drive or thumb drive on the USB port of the NETGEAR device.
  3. Once you are able to confirm it is compatible, open the setup page of the NETGEAR router by going to or and you will be asked for a User Name and Password. Type “admin” for the username and “password” for password.

    Note: Enabling the auto refresh status feature may eat up some of the system resource of the router and might have an impact on the performance of the router.

  7. You now have an option to download files via Bit Torrent, Emule, or via FTP/HTTP links.

    • For Bit Torrent, you have three options on how to download the file: saved torrent file on your PC, on the USB Drive or directly using the torrent link.

    • For Emule, you can download the file via the download link.

    • For FTP/HTTP, you can download the file by putting the download link. If there is a User Name and Password on the link, you must input it as well.

  9. Once it says it is done downloading, just go to \\readyshare and look for the path or the folder you set on Step 5 to access the file.

When ever I follow a guide I appreciate when they have images, it helps one know they are following it correctly. We all can get confused by tutorials every now and then.

now while i didn't own a compatible router as mine is Asus; I like to go a step further so I collected all the images I needed to provide a complete tutorial too the same standard as my Asus one.

Glad this netgear one is still helping the community +1


EDIT: I have noticed the images appear to be missing. I will find the original tutorial saved on my old computer and see that they are reloaded back up. I'll try to do this in the next week or so.
