setup media network without internet
Ok so i want to setup something where i can access files from my phone, tablet, tv or computer. But the problem is i live in a cabin without a phone line or internet connection.
I have internet on my phone and can tether it but its by no meams reliable. So does anyone know of a device or way i can do this?

You can't just plug a portable hard drive into your router. You would need an external HDD built for that (I think Western Digital makes some called MyCloud) or a router with a built in file server - which I've never seen a consumer one have but might be worth looking.
Or you need a small computer set up as a file server.

stupid phone Just get a router with wifi same as you would with Internet. It works fine.
If i get a dlink router. And plug a portable hard drive into it. Is that enough to do what i want?
As i dont have a phone line. And my laptop as good as it is i have no room for in my cabin so i keep it in storage. Until i need it.
So i need something like this where i can plug it into powerpoint and put harddrive into it and have netwprk that way
