Hi, I just got 'old/new' WNDR4700 Centria storage router and have question concernig users allowed to access the share(s).WNDR4700 allows to go into menu ADVANCED -> Storage -> User_Setup to add User_Name and Password, other than admin.Than you may want to go into Storage -> Advanced_Settings -> Available_Network_Folders -> Edit_Network_Folder -> Read_Access / Write_Access to give acces to your newly created acount other than admin. No way! Once you click Apply button, tick-box close to your newly created accouts gets cleared (blank).Also I cannot login into router web page with newly created account name & password, just with admin.Am I doing something wrong?

I did not downgrade WNDR4700 firmware. But it looks I solved some problems with user account other than 'admin' and what is more, finally I can access router HDD shared directory with 'user name' (other than router 'admin') and 'user password'.

WNDR4700 allows to go into menu ADVANCED -> Storage -> User_Setup to add User_Name and Password, other than admin.

Than you may want to go into Storage -> Advanced_Settings -> Available_Network_Folders -> Edit_Network_Folder -> Read_Access / Write_Access to give acces to your newly created acount other than admin. No way! Once you click Apply button, tick-box close to your newly created accouts gets cleared (blank).

Also I cannot login into router web page with newly created account name & password, just with admin.

Am I doing something wrong?
