Using Chrome on the mac, I can see the HTTP: share:

However, I cannot mount smb://readyshare, error is:

I tried Browse for Server, but could not see the router share.

 

Suggestions?

 

thanks!!

       That's at "readyshare.routerlogin.net".

    However, I cannot mount smb://readyshare, error is: [...]

       That's at "readyshare".  Have you tried taking a hint from the thing
    which works, and trying "smb://readyshare.routerlogin.net"?

       My memory is approximately worthless, but didn't someone report a
    solution (work-around?) like this recently in one of these forums?
