Title: Cannot connect to my external HD 1TB on Dir868l
Post by: Stefke20 on January 12, 2014, 04:18:26 AM

Gents,

I bought a DIR868L or AC1750 Dlink router with USB3 port
so i want to add a external harddrive 1gb to it, shareport does
see the device but i don't see it in explorer and when i want to access it in shareport windows
asks a password and username (insert networkreference username and password to connect to 192.168.0.1)
 , so i tried to play with the vault in windows 8
and added a networkreference , but no luck connecting to the harddisk
so i have no clue where to get this password that is asked
I'm from Belgium and using windows 8.1 64bit

anyone any experiance with this ?

Thanks
Stef

• What Hardware version is your router? Look at sticker under router.
• Link>What Firmware (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=47512.0) version is currently loaded? Found on the routers web page under status.
• What region are you located?

Review this and see if it works:

Hi,

Hardware A1
firmware 1.04
location Belgium

I overviewed your review , everything seems ok
only this "storage setup wizard" i can't find on my router
under storage i made an account but doesn't make a difference

so i really don't know why windows asks for a username and password
maybe it's just a stupid thing in windows 8.1 :)

Any chance you have a Windows 7 PC or try an older version of Windows to check?

i installed shareport on my laptop with windows 7 64bit
but still when i want to access the disk in shareport windows asks me a username and password

i guess it must have something to do with windows security cause on top of the popup
for the username is marked windows security
