Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

In Windows 10 I can access my TP-Link USB flash memory with a shortcut pointing to \\TP-SHARE and run any kind of files, including movies and music using VLC. Besides iPhone, iPad and Smart TV's e, iPad and Smart TV's have no problems at all. The USB content is also displayed and run from the Network icon in the Desktop.

 

Now in Windows 11 it is imposible to use the same approach. The only partial solution I could figure out is to display the USB content from the "This PC" icon. However I only could upload and delete files, but it is imposible to access any kind of files stored in the USB. There are no problems from my iPhone, iPad and Smart TV's.

  @lesm, As another user mentioned, it appears to be a W11 BUG, and it had to do with SMB protocol.

 

For instance, if I use the COMMAND PROMPT, I have some NET VIEW issues:

 

==========================

PS C:\> net view
System error 6118 has occurred.

The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available

PS C:\>

==========================

 

Before some W11 Update version it worked perfectly, I'd see my PC, wife's PC, and the Router SHARES..

 

However, it does work somewhat using SHARE NAMES:

 

======================

PS C:\> net view \\tp-share
Shared resources at \\tp-share


Share name  Type  Used as  Comment

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G           Disk
The command completed successfully.

======================

 

Now if you want FULL ACCESS to that drive on the Router (G:), use NET USE:

 

=======================

PS C:\> net use v: \\tp-share\g
The command completed successfully.

PS C:\> dir v:

    Directory: v:\

PS C:\>

=======================

 

You now have FULL ACCESS on your PC using V: as the drive letter.

 

By the way, a network of Windows 10 and Windows 11 PC's all exhibit the same problem, with some minor differences.
