MYBook Live - Can't create mapped drive

[pete_999]

AC1200 WiFi Range Extender

Through the primary router, or through the other extending router I can set-up and access shares from my WD MyBook Live. However throug the extender I can't. HOWEVER I can see the WD drive in the network list, and can access it through the WD software, so it's a specific issues with the extender and mapped drives.

 

Anyone got any ideas or have I spent a load of money a piece of junk?

More investigation has shown that an update to Bullguard is the problem. Turning off the BG firewall, manually mapping the drives based on IP / share and turning BG back on seems to have fixed it... I

Hi @pete_999

Welcome to the community!

What's the exact model number of your extender and the router?

When you're connected to the extender, do you have the same IP address range when you're connected to the router?

Do you have Internet access through the extender?

What's the exact model of the WD MyBook Live?
