File sharing

[Lees43]

My new Vodafone router has a usb 3.0 socket in it. I've plugged a 2tb external drive formatted in NTFS into it.

Logging in the router and in the sharing section I can clearly see the drive and what's look like a path, but how I access and use?

I've got a couple of file manager apps but still a little clueless how to set them up

@Lees43  The path to the drive should be \\vodafone.broadband\VendorCo_ProductCode_1_2392 or \\192.168.1.1\VendorCo_ProductCode_1_2392

To access the external drive on your Vodafone router, ensure USB sharing is enabled in the router settings. Use a file manager app and add a new network location with the path shown in the router (e.g., \\routerIP\shareName). Enter any required credentials and you can then access the drive over your network.
