@David-TP hi David;

thanks for the response

I did everything as the tutroal showed, but I still do NOT see the drive in my windows 11 file manager

I can see it from a file manager app on my Android phone, but shouldnt I be able to see it in my windows 11 file manager, just like I can every other thing on my network?

thanks!

  @David-TP hi david;

that solution isnt relevant to me, as the external drive I plugged into the BE95 main router was freshly formatted, and never used on my network.

I cant get an IP address for it, since its never been on the network, so that solution isnt the answer.there is no network interface, its a usb drive

isnt there an "official" way of seeing whats connected to a usb port on the BE95 yet, or is that something that a firmware update wou ld fix?

thanks

I got this message from a support person on the Best Buy Website;can you tell me where in the Deco app on my BE95 I can configure the Samba/FTP sharing function that they mentioned to me?

 

thanks

"The Deco BE95 supports FTP Share and Samba Share via USB 3.0 port by configuring the Samba/FTP sharing via the Deco app. Please ensure your Deco app and firmware are fully up-to-date before attempting to use the USB sharing feature. "

  @David-TP hi David;

I still cannot access the usb drive connected to my main Deco BE95

when I go through the instructions, it says "Windows cannot access \\192.168.68.1\  the remote device/resource wont accept the connection.

"the device or resource 192.168.68.1 is not setup to accept connections on port "the file and printer access sharing (SMB)

I have file and printer sharing enabled, I am able to access my NAS drives, the other computers on my network, everything else normally, except this USB drive connected to my BE95

Any other ideas, or does this just not work on the BE95?

thanks!

Michael
