usually Cant access 192.168.1.1 plus readyshare unaccessible

OK Fiddling some more helped me to get access to HDD on routers USB...sharing here as it might help others like me:
changes I made as per link shared with me by someone here
1) Enabled SMB1 as per above
2) Also, I marked the wifi network as private (it was public by default) from "open network and Internet settings" by right clicking wifi icon.
3) Also I was prompted to turn on network discovery when I clicked on network on "This PC"
SO the issue is solved for now:-)
> usually Cant access 192.168.1.1 [...]
"usually"? What happens when you try? (Note: "cant" is a word,
different from "can't".) "can't" is not a useful problem description.
It does not say what you did. It does not say what happened when you
did it. As usual, showing actual actions (commands) with their actual
results (error messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than
vague descriptions or interpretations.
OP> OK Boss ...I can't :-)
What I did?..I typed 192.168.1.1. in address bar...of Chrome and pressed enter
then I waited and then waited some more..until chrome told me "This site can't be reached" Yes, there was an apostrophe in the can't Chrome used. The laptop is with windows 10 pro. Same thing happened with another laptop...The app on my android also couldnt connect to router
BTW, I restarted the router and it did connect. I had this issue earlier too, until I did a factory reset and was finally able to get the router login. Are people experiencing routers mood swings too??

As always, an actual version number would be more useful than your
opinion of what's "latest" today.

| My Router: Nighthawk RAX80 | Firmware Version V1.0.3.106_1.0.50 |
So as I mentioned above, I was able to log in router after a restart. I still did a factory reset. in the hope of solving readyshare HDD access possible but Im able to access the USB HDD 4TB connected to router USB via ReadyCLOUD but not locally via laptop connected on the router's wifi.
The router gave me address "\\readyshare\USB_Storage" which put in run and pressed enter. I got Network error "Windows cannot access \\readyshare\USB_Storage"
How do I solve this...Any help would be appreciated...TIA!
