This is an Android Tablet question that involves a NetGear AC7500 R6400 router. Being what it is, wasn't sure if this belonged under the networking forum or the android forum. So here goes.
My router has a USB file storage feature. You plug a USB drive into the router and it becomes a network storage device. In WIndows, you just open file explorer and type in \\ReadyShare and it pops right up. It can even be Mapped as a network drive for easy access.
Problem is, I can't get my Android tablet to find it. I downloaded an app called EZ File Manager and tried a variety of input strings but it won't find it. Tried using the router's IP address, using http:// pretext, the @ sympbol, and various other strings without luck. The EZ File Manager does see my own PC in the list, but nothing I do will allow it to see the \\readyshare folder.
Any suggestions?
