Can’t access USB SSD shared through Acer Predator W6x router
Hey everyone,
I’m trying to access my Samsung Portable SSD (1TB) that’s plugged into the USB port of my Acer Predator W6x router, but I can’t get it to show up properly on my Windows PC.
I can see the drive listed in the router’s web interface and I’ve enabled SMB / network sharing, but when I try to connect from my PC using the address in the search bar of explorer and tried setting up a network location but when Windows asks for credentials and when I enter them, I get it access denied when i enter the correct credentials.
I've never had issue getting this working before with other routers.
Has anyone successfully set up a shared USB drive on the Predator W6x or could help me.
Would appreciate any help or screenshots from someone who has it working!
