Connect usb drive to hub for networking

forestbeast56 — Wed, 20 Mar 2024 13:02:52 GMT

Have plugged usb drive into hub and is showing in Hub Manager but cannot access it via File explorer Network tab. Is there a setting I need to activate or something I need to do to enable the drive to be visible. Am using Windows 11 and the drive is plugged into the USB slot on Smart Hub 2

Map a network drive letter to \\192 168.1.254\usb1

You will also need to enable SMB1 as it is disabled by default in W11

You may not be able to enable SMB1 in Win11 as SMB1, I think, is a security risk and may not be available in Win11

It is disabled by default but is available.

I currently access an external drive connected to the usb port of my hub from a W11 laptop.
