Chromebox access to router USB AC1750 not mount
No selection for my router it's an AC1750 not AC1450 Chromebox works fine on internet, setup on ethernet. I have several chromebox's I use for TV connect. I have a thumb drive in each with numorus...
Works with an old windows 8 box, no updates in two years since I removed it from the INet.
Either I can't find the proper SMB Path or netgear readyshare doesn't work with chromebox.
Tried a ASUS and an HP chromebox.
Chromebox & book are the wave of the future for the connected home. Seems Netgear would get with google and solve this.
Links for those with the same problem.
Hi getreal,
1. What is the firmware version of the router?
2. The ReadySHARE feature was tested to only work with Windows and Mac for SMB.
3. Have you tried using your Windows or Mac computer to check if the ReadySHARE feature works?
4. Does FTP or HTTP access work with the Chromebox?
Regards,
Dexter

Whatever the problem was, I doubt that "192.168.1.0" is the solution.
The all-zeros (".0") and all-ones (".255") addresses are broadcast
addresses -- not what you want to use. The router's default address is
more likely to be 192.168.1.1.
