RAXE500 - Network USB Doesn't Work
I just connected my RAXE500 and wanted to set up the USB drive on readyshare that I previously used on my older Nighthawk but it doesn't seem to work. I went to the Advanced settings and shut off all...
What does it show the share folder name as you you open windows explorer and enter in \\router IP
For example, if the router IP is 192.168.1.1, then you enter in \\192.168.1.1
This will help determine if the share name actually changed.
PS with that method you can also right click on the share that shows up and map it from there if needed as well.
When I tried this it wouldn't connect.
What error does it give when you use the router's IP address?
- Connection refused
I wonder if the network browser function is disabled in windows, or if the network was mistakenly identified as public rather than private by the windows firewall thuus disabling the file sharing functions.
What happens if you click on the network folder in the lefthand column in the file explorer?
