4) Connecting the TrekStor MovieStation to the network
You can connect your MovieStation to your computer or your home network using an
Ethernet cable and wirelessly via WLAN. You then have access to shared folders, e.g. on
computers or on other network devices (e.g. NAS). The media files saved in these folders can
be played back with the MovieStation. In this section you will learn how to set up a network
share on a computer and how you can access it with your MovieStation.

Each network share may represent a security risk. Especially when using a WLAN, you should
pay heed to the security of your network to prevent undesired access.
