Admin Password Doesn't Work for USB readyshare drive
Admin login/password is denied when accessing a hard drive connected to the modem via USB that was read/write protected in routerlogin.net. If the drive is not protected, no problem accessing via...
1058 firmware and can't seem to get readyshare to work properly at all.
Windows can map the USB hard drive and show the storage space.
I can access it through FTP. But something isn't working properly and won't allow me to map network drive on windows 10.
I've tried router credentials and windows credentials when mapping the drive in windows.
I think I'll try an older firmware. I just bought this router and it had 1058 installed.
My previous router was r7000 and network USB drive worked.
Downgrading to 1052 firmware on R9000 allowed me to open USB hard drive folders without password. But, I tried to put a password requirement for root of the drive and I can't open it from windows 10.
Android phone lets me access root with password.
What's going on here?
Router configuration:
Readyshare
\\readyshare\HDD
Steps I take on windows:
map drive
\\readyshare\HDD
router admin and pass I set.
On the phone:
I use MIX app from XDA dev
smb://router ip address
router admin and pass I set.
