Now I contacted Vodafone through their support forum, well I got a really bad answer which is totally unrelated to my question, a Vodafone forum administrator told me that I was posting it in a wrong location, so I moved it to the right one and got no answer after that, I did not mind to call their support as support in any Internet Service providers here in NZ sucks in my experience the average waiting time was 30 minutes and sometimes you don’t get the answer you are looking for specially if I am talking to a less technical person than me.

Knowing that it’s a Twonky software that works on the background, I immediately contacted their support, they replied quick but did not get anywhere as they don’t support OEM device, and here was their response which is fair enough.

I was worried there might be something wrong with the device so I browsed the hard drive though a PC and check whether files are in there, to my surprise it was there and was wondering why it was not indexed. Now let’s go to my problem, when I plugged the 2TB USB hard drive (take note it can take FAT or NTFS formatted drives) it immediately read the media files on it and it indexed it really fast, now I tried to browse the media files on my TV and I only see some of the media files on the USB drive.

The sharing methods are through DLNA, FTP and/or a normal network file share it also has a Print Server for those who have non-wireless printers at home.

This device that I am talking about is a rebranded Huawei Echolife HG553 for a full information on the product here is a downloadable manual from Vodafone, it’s an amazing device and does DLNA very well now I stream media files from this device to my Smart TV, 3D Home Theatre, Android Devices, iPhones, PS3, PC’s and even an old XBOX with XBMC installed I don’t have to plug and unplug my USB hard drive to share media at home.

Given that scenario Vodafone have my answer by giving their device free, now I saved NZ$185 for the device and $15/month on phone and internet bills and my data plan increased by 35GB how good is that (Note: this is not an ad, I am just happy with my experience with Vodafone). Now you might ask why DLNA, well I have a lot of DLNA devices at home and I want to stream media files such as music, video and photos on those devices and a single device that can integrate them all while staying on a budget would be good.

I was searching before for a similar device and the only ones out there are limited to Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH, Netgear N600 and Linksys WAG320N which all are ADSL2+ Modem Wi-Fi Router with DLNA and USB ports, well I am out of luck as we don’t have it here in New Zealand and the next best thing that I could only have is the Netgear DGN2200M which costs NZ$185 and that’s not DLNA certified yet.

The device that I am talking about is a ADSL2+ Modem with Wi-Fi Router that has DLNA, 2 USB ports and 1 USB/HSPA port (for wireless modem).

Recently I moved to a different internet provider as my ADSL modem and Wi-Fi Router is getting old, service price is also expensive compared to the new offers currently on the market and there’s a really good offer on Vodafone NZ where they give a boradband modem device for free while keeping the rates reasonable compared to similar data plans. This post will not be programming related but more of a simple hack on a device I just recently acquired, anyways this post still is technology related and I wanted to share this simple solution that others might find useful.
