Hi everyone,

 

 

 

I have an external hard drive which, whenever I need to access it, is connected via USB to my wireless router modem. Now since I have the NF4V Netcomm Router I cannot access my storage device. The Windows 10 network diagnose/troubleshooter says:

Windows can't communicate with the device or resource (192.168.1.1)
It is available but is not responding to connection attempts. A firewall or network security policy on the remote computer might be blocking the connection on port "file and print sharing resource".


- In the NF4V settings it says that my LAN side firewall is disabled.
- Windows side Firewall enabled/disabled did not make any difference.

Does anybody have an idea why Windows can't access my router via the network. I can connect to the router via browser just fine.

I had the same problem with the NF4V, but emailed NetComm (they were excellent to deal with) and they gave me a solution that worked.

 

The solution is:

 

Login to Router
Navigate to Management > Access Control > Services Control, tick Enable for SAMBA for LAN column and click Apply/Save.. Reboot the modem.

 

Note: Speed through put seems ok, product does support DLNA. I have copied a 20meg mp4 (video) in a couple of seconds to a USB HD in the modem and it played back from the modem USB perfectly.
Note: Also seems to run FAT32 and NTFS drive sweet as.
