  1. HELP! Network drive is now Read-only


    I installed a network HDD to my ASUS Router via my old PC (Windows XP -- I know, I know)

    My new PC is Windows 10 Pro (v1909) and accessing files on the Drive is read-only; I can't copy/paste or edit any files.

    Drive has no access issue from my wife's Mac or my old PC. I've toyed with Router USB settings and FTP, etc.

    I believe it's a W10 issue, but what am I missing? Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

    PS: I've tried enabling SMBv1 Client, but no luck.

  2. Help needed with simple wired network

    Step one- Connect all PC's to router, and then the router to the modem. PC's go to router by the ports labeled "1-4" on the back of the router. WAN port goes to router. Power up all network equipment, and then systems.
    Step two- Power on the computer connected to port one. Go into router settings at 192.168.0.1 and configure internet, dyndns, firewall, etc.
    Step three- Go to "network set up wizard" in windows. (Network places- network set up wizard). The rest is self explanatory.
    Step four- right click on each drive and printer you want to share, and then configure sharing preferences. Should be easy enough.
    Step five- right click my computer, and the select "map network drive". Using the network address for each piece of hardware you shared, assign network drive letters.

    Congratulations, you have a fully operational network. Happy Gaming! *Toast :toast:
