Accessing USB Storage on Archer C7 V5
Hello, I am attempting to set up an external hard drive through USB via my Archer C7 and I am having issues. I would like to use the "enable authentication" n the Folder Sharing settings but my login is not being recognized.
I followed set up guides and my USB drive is recognized by the router. I used the "use new account" and created a new username and password. I am using the network neighborhood method for sharing. I am able to access the drive when "enable authentication" is disabled in the Folder Sharing settings but when I enable authentication my login is not recognized.
Other information
- The drive in question is in a powered enclosure and connected to my C7 router via USB cable and I am able to access my files when "enable authentication" is not selected.
- My PC is connected to my router via a cat 5 cable.
- My router is in router mode.
- I am copy and pasting my password from a password manager when creating my "use new account" and when pasting my login when prompted to access the drive.
- My PC is running the latest version of windows 10.
Can anyone give me a suggestion to fix my problem?
