BT Hub USB

[Andy31370]

Hi, I have plugged a USB drive into my Ultrafast BT Hub and I have managed to map and access the drive with my Windows 10 PC. My problem is, I cannot access the drive on my Samsung Galaxy device. I put 192.168.1.254 into my network browser on my device but the browser asks for a Port number. Can anyone help me with this ? My Samsung device is connected to the same Hub via WiFi. Thanks.

What app are you using?  AndSMB works fine for me on Pixel3. Make sure you have enabled SMB1 on whatever app you are using.

Thanks fir reply. I use Samsung's stock "My Files" app. It allows you to connect to network storage (including SMB). When I try to add the USB storage connected to BT Hub using 192.168.1.254 it also asks for the "Port" number.

Try 139 or 445.

Seems the problem is with Samsung's My Files app. I have downloaded another file manager app and I am able to connect to the USB drive. Thanks for your help.
