I currently have a network switch which is connected to Orbi router and many devices are connected to the switch including my ASUS router.
My question is that when I connect my HDD to the ASUS router I dont see it on the network probably coz of different IP address of different routers? or soemthing. I would like to access the hard disk on Roku and android TV which do not detect the HDD on the network.
Any solutions? help or ideas is very much appreciated
Thanks
HG
Are you still using the ASUS router with the Orbi ROUTER??

Yes, I have connected my ASUS router through the network switch which gets its connection from Orbi
