trying to map network drive on to new Chromebook
Model : Archer C7
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version :
ISP :
First time Chromebook user. I have an Acer 156 Chrome OS [FONT=Roboto]Version 62.0.3202.97 (Official Build) (64-bit)[/FONT]
[FONT=Roboto]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Roboto]I have an external USB drive that contains all my media. I want to map it so the Chromebook can read/write to the drive.[/FONT]
[FONT=Roboto]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Roboto]The drive is plugged into my TPLink Archer router via USB.[/FONT]
[FONT=Roboto]I have this same drive mapped to my NVidia Shield as "smb://192.168.0.1/volume1/Media"[/FONT]
[FONT=Roboto]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Roboto]I am using the Network File Share app on my Chromebook, that path doesn't work[/FONT]
[FONT=Roboto]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Roboto]Do I need to use the "tplink.net" domain since I am connecting via Wifi, instead of wired LAN?[/FONT]

[/FONT]
[FONT=Roboto]I've tried every path variation I can think of[/FONT]
