 ====== File sharing ======
-In the File sharing menu you can enable and configure Samba filesharing. Samba is a Linux clone of Microsoft's SMB (Server Message Block) filesharing protocol. Samba allows FreshTomato to "speak" the same language as Windows for file sharing between Windows and Linux-based systems (such as FreshTomato). This allows you to use your FreshTomato router as a NAS drive, if you connect USB like a an external hard drive or flash drive.
+In this menu, you can enable and configure Samba filesharing. Samba is a Linux clone of Microsoft's SMB (Server Message Block) filesharing protocol. Samba allows FreshTomato to "speak" the same language as Windows for file sharing across a LAN between Windows and Linux-based systems (such as FreshTomato). This allows you to use your router like a NAS drive, if you connect a USB storage device such as an external hard drive or flash drive.
 Microsoft's SMB protocol was recently upgraded to v3. FreshTomato's implementation supports only v1/v2. However, these are fine for basic operations.
