Wrong username/password trying to access USB HDD connected to Router
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I have an external HDD connected to my Archer C7 router through its USB port. I can only access it if I have "Enable Authentication" disabled. Then, I can access it through Win+R → \\TP-Share\. However, having no password is not an option, since my network is shared with other people.
When I enable "Enable Authentication", I get a login window and I get a message saying my username or password is invalid. See the image bellow:
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@Kevin_Z Hi,
any chance for a beta for EU/ITA firmware for C7_V5?
Thanks in advance.

Hell all, thank you all for your patient waiting.
We have recently received a beta firmware to resolve this issue, please give it a try on the Archer C7 if you need this USB access with authentication, thanks:
I hope this helps.

Hello, are you experiencing the same issue with other on this post? Is your Archer C7_V5 an EU version or IT version? Please confirm it on the router bottom label, thanks.

Is your Archer A7 a US version or an EU one? We currently only have the beta firmware for the US version, if yours is an EU version, we may need to confirm with the R&D.
Please confirm if you are encountering the same issue as the others in this post that you cannot access the HDD once enabled authentication, what is the error message, thanks.

Thanks for your reply!
I think my Archer A7 is an EU one as I bought it in Germany. The hardware version is Archer A7 v5.0.
And yes, it's the same issue as the other ones: the message is that user name and/or password is incorrect!

Hi,
yeah, I have the same issue. Cannot log in shares with auth ON.
I'm on C7_V5 hardware,
FirmWare: Archer C7(EU)_V5_201030\c7v5_us-up-ver1-0-16-P1[20201030-rel55736]_2020-10-30_15.32.02.bin
tested with Win10, smbclient on raspian and kodi on X1X.
on Firmware:Archer C7(EU)_V5 200628\Archer C7(EU)_V5 200628.bin
everything works fine.
