Network amount - Remote directory for a router usb hdd

[Scabroso]

Hi all,

I have been trying to mount a source which is an external USB HDD attached to a wireless router Asus RT-N18U-A904.

I've tried every which way to find the right remote directory in the Runeaudio netrwork mounting page with no luck.

The details on the page are:
Fileshare protocol: SMB/CIFS
IP Address: 192.168.1.1
Remote Directory: (?)

I find on the PC's network the HDDs, for example the other's address is: Rt-n18u-a904/varalevy/Musiikki, but that does not work for the Remote Directory on Runeaudio.

I have also succesfully ripped my cds to the same folder with dBpoweramp where the path is: //Rt-n18u-a904/varalevy/Musiikki

Where am I going wrong? I've tried big and small letters with guess access on/off etc.

On Asus' control page I can see the directory tree to my music files as follows:

RT-N18U-A904/TOSHIBA DT01ACA200/VARALEVY/Musiikki

I have tried that too, but Runeaudio does not find the HDD.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi Scabroso,

welcome to RuneAudio.

Please try:

Also check if you need a username and password.

Hi again and thanks for the kind help and apologies for the very delayd response. I tried to do as per your suggestions, but to no avail. Would you have any other advises on this? In the meantime I already partially gave up and just attached a USB cased HDD which seems to be working quite alright. I'm still though possessing with the NAS possibility of the the router...

Wow, I changed the Asus to act as an access point instead of a router, changed the IP-address in the Runeaudio to the Asus' AP-ip and now the NAS-library is updating!
