Title: DSL-2750U V1 How to setup Storage services? [SOLVED]
Post by: hart80 on March 25, 2015, 12:55:52 PM
Hi all.
Can anyone here can explain me how to share an USB storage device with a DSL-2750U HW: V1 FW: ME-1.03 please?
There is no "Storage services" menu in this firmware.

I don't see any storage information listed in the user manual either.

You can try this and see if it works:

You might try using the SharePort SW as well:

If any of this fails, I recommend that you phone contact your regional D-Link support office and ask for help and information regarding this. We find that phone contact has better immediate results over using email.
Let us know how it goes please.

What size and format is the USB drive your connecting to the modem?
Format should be NTFS.

It's just an 8GB USB stick formatted in NTFS just for sharing some little videos and music files.
It's not matter if this router can't share some USB drive it was just an attempt.
I use the USB port to plug a 3G stick as backup of my dsl

This maybe the section to enable this:
SAMBA enables the workstation in the network to share the USB flash disk connected to the DSL-2750U.

It is already enable but i don't know how to connect my computer to see the USB stick
I'm on windows 7.
EDIT: I can read the USB stick on a mac with just typing "smb://IP adress" :)
But it helps me if I can do this on windows 7 ;)
EDIT 2: Works too on windows 7. I just type \\IPaddress on START>ACCESSORIES>RUN  ;D

P.S.: I think it have a size limitation with this router because i can't access my 320GB USB HDD
These attempts was successfull with my 8GB USB stick formatted on NTFS
Thank you for trying to help me!
