I've just moved broadband provider to Vodafone and installed the router,
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to read the NAS (WD MyBook Live), linked through the LAN ethernet cable, which i use to access files on my home computers.
I had no problems with my previous BT router. I've chekced that the NAS definitely still works by plugging it direct into the computer.
i called Vodafone customer support but they were unable to help and advised me to look here.
Does anyone know how to deal with this? I had a look in the router settings but couldn't seem to find anything.
If I don't get it resolved, I will cancel the Vodafone contract because I'm still in the trial period, but I'd rather not.
Thanks

Have you tried giving it a drive letter? Follow this guide, but use the IP address of the router instead of the vodafone.broadband path, if the full network path doesn't work

Thanks for that idea. I have wondered whether the name is too long or has symbols that sonos does not like. I know it was called //BT/vertatimHD or similar.
