Unable to view/access XR1000 USB Storage in Windows Pro 11 File Explorer
Setting up a new Windows Pro 11 laptop. I want to use Windows File Explorer to view and access all folders/files within my WD External HD (connected to XR1000 through USB). Environment Details: ...
I'm back working on this issue! It appears, from all I've read, that it is a problem with a Microsoft update. I was able to finally follow the link provided by StephenB - and successfully mapped my WD hdd 1021 (through USB port on XR1000) and have access to all folders/files! Here are the steps I followed:
- Ran Powershell as administrator
Get-SMBClientConfiguration (to verify EnableInsecureGuestLogons was set as False and RequireSecuritySignature was set as True)
Ran the following
Set-SMBClientConfiguration -EnableInsecureGuestLogons $true
Set-SMBClientConfiguration -RequireSecuritySignature $false
- Restarted computer
- Opened File Explorer and mapped to \\readyshare\USB_Storage
Thanks to everyone for your help and support!
If you need to enter a username and password for Windows to connect to ReadyShare then on the ReadyShare page on the router you need to set the user/pass for this access method and then use that when trying to add it
Thank you for the response. I have had to leave this issue for a bit and will address it in a few days.
