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.

Re: Nighthawk R7500 Eide
Could it be that it only works on win7 and not on this new win11 laptop ?

Re: Nighthawk R7500 Eide
Glad you got it working!
If you're reliant on the external, might be time to check into a NAS. A router based one is nice for just starting out, but a good NAS with backup is awesome. I can't tell you the number of times my NAS based RAID array saved my data
