Connected USB drive listed as "Not Shared". How do I share it?

Model # AC1450

 

I turned off sharing due to no password protection.   Now I can't figure out how to share it again.  Nothing in the Readshare web app seems to enable it.  The "Edit" button on the bottom left just seems to refresh the menu. If I plug this disk directly into the laptop it connects just fine. If I plug in a different USB device into the router it shares just fine.  WTF?  Is there a table of blacklisted volume labels somewhere in the router?

 

Secondary question, how to you set access passwords?

  • I appear to have found the problem.   The Google Chrome browser wasn't allowing the "Edit" popup to appear and I was none the wiser.  I tried a different browser (Pale Moon) and when I clicked the "Edit" button a new window appeared allowing me to add another share.

      Thank you for the update.

      Is everything working now?

        Yes.  Everything is working fine now.  This isn't the first time I've had invisible popup issues with Google Chrome.  Couldn't flight check-in to British Airways once in Chrome because relevant popups wouldn't appear.

         

        Thanks,
