Hi,
I have 3 android devices 2 phones (7.1 & 6.0) and a tablet (4.1) none of which can access my NAS connected via usb to my router. I have several laptops (linux) that can access the NAS just fine. I'm using (or trying to) smb in all cases. My set up is:
Netgear WNR-3500L (stock firmware)
NAS configured for no password read or write
Yet my android devices cannot access the NAS.
I've tried 3 different File Managers:
Astro
ES
Strong
but in each case they discover my NAS, report cannot find server or invalid use or password when trying to log on.
I've tried every combination of "guest", "all", "none", "anonymous" "blank" that I can think of, but NG.
I've also set the NAS to require user/password, entered the proper credentials, but still NG.
However, in each case they can access shared folders on my laptops that are configured to allow guests (no user/password).
I also tired AndSMB, again NG.
Oddly enough, I have VLC installed on the android devices and VLC can easily access the NAS.
Can someone give me a hint as to what the magic is to get my devices to access my NAS?
I've googled this for a week... NG on everything I've found.
Thanks!
