Firmware Version:

I have successfully connected my external hard drive to the router and accessed it from my PC through wi-fi, but I can't create a desktop shortcut to access the folder easily! right now each time I need to access the folder, I need to type ftp://192..... the username and password are saved.

Is there a way to create a desktop shortcut? I've tried using the windows shortcut (right-click > create new shortcut) but windows can't understand the "Link" ftp://192.168.1.1

Thanks, note I'm using windows 10, and trying to connect to the share folder through local wi-fi

Use these steps:

Open Windows Explorer
Right-click on "My Computer" in the navigation panel on the left
Choose "Add new network location"
Use the wizard to create a new network location for your FTP site
The FTP site will now show up in My Computer as a network location. You can make shortcuts from there by right-clicking on the connection and choosing "send to" > "desktop (as shortcut)".

If this was helpful click on the arrow pointing upward to make it blue. If this solves your issue, click the star to make it blue and mark the post as a "Recommended Solution".
