PATRIOT CONNECT APP

The Patriot Connect app is very easy to use, just download it from your iOS/Android/Kindle Fire device and run it.

From the Status screen you can check the host name, workgroup name, firmware version and the total/remaining HDD/SSD space available (we used two drives during testing, a WD Scorpio Black 160GB and the Hitachi 7k750).

Under the System Tab you can change the host/workgroup names and also perform firmware upgrades.

The broadcasted SSID and the Samba account details can be edited from the Wireless Settings tab.

You can set the current security mode in the Security settings.

Downloading files from the Gauntlet Node to your smartphone or tablet is very easy as is deleting them from the main menu.

We used mov and mp4 files (lightly encoded ones) with the Gauntlet Node and although we had no issue with 720p ones we couldn't play quite a few 1080p ones (the ones we did froze a lot).
