BT Home Hub 6 Blocking Samba File Sharing over LAN

[licquorice]

What app are you using?

[Oakington_Mike]

I use an Android App called Solid Explorer, but there are several alternatives. Investigate the Play Store for SMB / Samba access apps.

Just downloaded and tried Andsmb as a test, that works fine on my Pixel6

@WhyDidISignUpToThem@ try Solid Explorer as recommended by@Oakington_Mike @ it works just fine and has a good UI.

You need to login to the hub as guest and set SMB 1 in advanced settings.

I still can't get beyond the, app seeing the hub. 

Please help me with the, settings. Thank you.

For which app?

For Solid Explorer, click on the + symbol > new cloud connection > LAN/SMB > select your hub > guest > set advanced to yes > select smb1 > connect
