Model: Archer AX55 Pro  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.0.5 Build 20240121 rel.56156(5553)

I have a USB drive on my Archer AX55 Pro (AX3000 Multi-Gigabit Wi-Fi 6 Router). I can connect to this drive with 5 other Windows 11 computers, my Linux computer and my phone and tablet, so my issue is not with the router or the USB share drive.

I can see and get to TP-share, I can open TP-share with media player, even in the web browser http://192.168.0.1. So the computer can see and interact with the drive. 

My issue is I cannot map the drive. Using the same address instructed by TP-Link and the same address used on all my other devices do not work (\\tplinkwifi.net or \\tplinkwifi.net\g).

One time it connected and then told me my credentials were not correct. On all my other devices I have no credentials. ??

I have changed some group policies I found searching the web but nothing has helped.

This is a new laptop with Windows 11 Pro.

 

What setting am I missing on this computer?

I fixed the issue.

I was using \\tplinkwifi.net\g but the g needs to be capitalized G. \\tplinkwifi.net\G

I had to restart Workstation which cleared the SMB cache.

Once I restarted Workstation and mapped \\tplinkwifi.net\G it worked.
