=== Direct download ===
You can download files directly on your RG406V with a browser. Firefox mobile with uBlock as an adblocker is pretty good for this.
=== Transfer files from PC to your handheld ===
There are multiple ways to do this. One simple and easy way is through SFTP connection. Once set up, this is a very convenient way to get files to your device(s).
On the RG406V download a file manager of your choice with SFTP support. For example:
* [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cxinventor.file.explorer&hl=en Cx File Explorer]
* [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ghisler.android.TotalCommander&hl=en Total Commander] + [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ghisler.tcplugins.SFTP&hl=en SFTPplugin for Total Commander]
