I've connected my WD Passport hard drive to the Bright Box 1(R) router through the USB port, but am not sure how to access the files. I have previously had a Smart Hub and know that in order to access files on that, you can use \\192.168.1.254\usb1. How can you access files in this way using the Bright Box?
I would like to map the network to a drive on my computer and have already enabled the SMB 1.0 using the Control Panel.
The BrightBox's IP addy is http://192.168.1.1 but I don't know you can access the USB device that way thro' a browser. You can see the USB in Windows File Explorer under Network / Computer / Brightbox.
