Model: Deco M5  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.3.1

Hello everyone.

In our house we have :

1 piece of HUAWEI HG8245H GPON terminal (in bridge mode)

9 pieces of Deco M5, all of them connected through wi-fi (except HUAWEI - Main Deco using ethernet)

3 piece of different brand Smart TV with Openbox Tuner (it has Android OS and Google Play inside) on each of them.

1 piece of PC


Conditions :

Internet speed 100mb/s

Decos in Router Mode

All Deco using 5Ghz (2.4 turned off)

All TV and PC have ethernet cable connected to Deco (each device has Deco near by)


What we want :


We want have all of our files (family pictures and videos and movies) to be accessible (available) through our local network. In other words, we want to upload a movie to one hard drive (shared hard drive) and watch this movie in any of our devices (TV, PC, Macbook, iPhone....) that's connected to our home network.

Is there any good ways to do this ? 

Our Deco M5 does not have USB feature, but our HUAWEI has it. I believe, we can use it for sharing ?

Hi, Deco M5 mesh system is capable of that.

You could configure a local web server on one of the LAN devices, take for your PC for example:

If you have a NAS at home, this link might give you some help:

Since you did not require access from the internet, you can skip the port forwarding part. 

Thank you very much.
