Nighthawk R7500 Eide
I've been using the Nighthawk R7500 for a long time, and I'm (still) happy with it. Now I got another laptop (win11) and I want to access the eSata HD connected to this router from the new file explorer . On my other computers, it works fine. I see (and use) it as but I can't access it from this new laptop because I forgot how to install it...
Any one has clear instructions or where can I find it?
thanks in advance!
It works !
This new laptop (win11) used SMB2 and apparently my netgear setup doesn't work with this. So I changed it to SMB1 (wich is not/less insecure in "home" networks) and everything works.
Sadly enough it's not mentioned in the manual.
Nevertheless : thanks for your time and effort to help me !

Page 63 in the manual goes over connection and then it moves (in later pages) in how to access it.
