Smart Hub 2 USB Device Server Issues

Hi all,

I am trying to setup my own little cloud storage system using my BT router and an external hard drive. I have plugged it in an attempted to connect to the server on my laptop (Mac). I can enter as a guest, which kicks me every time I turn my computer, Apple TV, phone off, and to connect as the registered user it asking for a username and password. Where do I find this username and password? I assumed it was just the admin password, but apparently not. I also need this username and password to connect to my infuse library.

Does anyone know about this name and password and where I can find them?

Thanks

No idea, but it has nothing to do with the BT hub, it will be the device you have connected to it.

For Macs. This is quite an old post but may still be relevant. Connect a USB HDD formatted as ex-fat to the port on the Hub. To then connect to that select the "Go" menu in a finder window and select the bottom option "connect to server". The BT hub will not allow a connection as a "user" as there is no known password. However it can be accessed without a password by selecting "guest". It will be readable and writable too. The name that appears on the desktop will be "usb1" and this cannot be changed.
