Once you are in the setup pages of the router go to the advanced section (if there is one) and then something like Attached storage or something simailar. Type in the password for the router (if you don't know it it should be on a label on the side of the box or you can find out the default password by either a Google search or the user manual for that brand router) and again hit the Enter/Return key or Click OK/Login button.

You will then get a Username and Password window. So open a web broswer, Safari, Firefox, Chrome (whichever you use), and type in the Address bar 192.168.1.1 (Which is the IP address of most all routers made) and hit the Enter/Return key. That is all of them I have ever worked with except the Apple routers that you need a special program to access them with. Most all routers have setup pages that are accessed from a web broswer. May thanks in advance to everybody and greetings from Venezia! User and password: are user&password necessary, even if raspberry is still connected and communicating with the router that’s also the media server? When I get in the Technicolor router, it ask me only the password, but I discovered that the user id “admin” because it is the only one user that let me open the pen drive as network drive.įinally, tried also to write “ro,noatime,sec=ntlmv2” in the Mount flags on the advanced options, but it doesn’t seem to change anything. Remote directory: I tried “music”, “/music”, “music/” … ?

IP address: 192.168.1.116 (Even without fixed IP, I always found raspberry on this address). This router is declared to support SMB protocol. When I try to SAVE, after added a new share in menu -> library, I can’t see a new NAS in the browse panel, and I have no more access to any menu option. I’m using raspberry PI 2, dac-pcm5102-i2s, Volumio 1.55, wire connection between raspberry and the router.

I can easy read a pen drive connected on the USB port of the router, as network drive, and I can see it with some other DLNA devices as well. My router is also powered with an UPS, so the HDD connected doesn’t risk to be damaged with an electrical power down. Use as media server the USB port of this router may be useful, as first because it’s always turned on and there’s no other NAS to buy and to supply. So, if anyone has already mount this media server, please let me know how it must be configured, otherwise solving this issue probably will solve a problem for so many people. This is the modem supplied in Italy by Telecom Italia, with the VDSL2 connection. Well I have a router VDSL Technicolor AG plus VDNT-S, that can works also as media server.
