From what I can tell Mionet is installed on a computer and the computer handles the
communication so unless your router supports setting up VPN access to the drive the
setup as stated will not work. Also VPN access is a PIA to setup with so many things
that can break it if they are even the slightest bit off so it will likely be a lot
of settings checking and manual reading to get this working if the router supports
it at all.
