I suddenly cannot connect to my readyshare USB drive anymore

Now years later and using an up-to-date Win 11 system and that RAX80 router, I suddenly cannot connect to my readyshare USB drive anymore. Signing in to the Router, it shows as before but File Explorer states "The network drive was not found. Not sure how to fix this.

    Be sure that SMB v1.0 Client is enabled on the Windows 11 PC. Was probably working in prior version of Windows but upgrading to Win 11, may have disabled it.

    Also try connecting the drive directly to the PC and make sure it is still ok.
