R8000P - USB HDD storage no longer accessible over network

Hi, thanks for the prompt reply.

I was accessing through 'Myfiles' android app (samsung) which allowed me to add and delete files over wifi connection. I could easily find the drive on the router by selecting.

Network storage > 'Add network storage' > it previously had the following options to select as the next step

- FTP server

- SFTP server

-Network drive (SMB)

I select the Network drive option and it would find the Readyshare USB storage drive and I would logon via the router password.

this has now changed to

- FTP server

- SFTP server

-Network drive (SMBv2/SMBv3)

On selecting the latter, it comes up with the drive (SMB) READYSHARE 192.168.1.1:445 but it rejects the logon. I usethe same credentials as the router. This has always worked previously

I tried another app that allows you "add a remote location", then select SMB and manually input 192.168.1.1:445. I even tried using the option of 'SMBv1' rather than 'Automatic' but I still get an error message "Could not connect"

As mentioned in the OP. Once I'm connected to the storage it is an easy method of transferring files to the HDD connected to the router and being able to access media files on other devices such a Smart TV's etc.

Thank in advance for any addtional guidance.
