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.
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'.
After clicking Apply it should clear out the textboxes and the checkboxes should default to All - no password.
Looks like a firmware problem. I suggest that you try to reflash the firmware of the router by downloading the latest firmware from the website and upload it once again.
After loading the firmware, do not forget to factory reset the router and then configure the settings manually.
Once done, configure the user and password then verify if you will have the same problem.
