Can't Access Media Player As Before After Win 10 Upgrade

Hi all,
I recently upgraded from a Dell XPS running Windows 7 to a Dell XPS with Windows 10. My setup also has a Zidoo z9s (with hard drive attached) mediia player hooked up to the PC with an ethernet cable. I never had any problems on my old system, I could see the files on the hard drive attached to the media player from the PC and vice-versa, I could access from the media player some files on the PC.

However, since installing the new pc I lost all of that, or I should say I recently lost all that. After installing the new pc, I noticed under Network in File Explorer an entry called OPENWRT, this was apparently the media player and I could access the files to it and write to it from the PC as I could before. However, I noticed the other day that the OPENWRT entry was no longer listed in File Explorer under Network. Any idea what might have happened to it and how to get it back?

Also, with regards to accessing files on the PC from the media player. I tried signing on to it from the media player but was unable, I believe it's said it was an invalid password / user ID. I used the user ID listed under system and the password that I use to sign onto the PC but no luck.

I'm wondering if this has anything to do with my using a Microsoft account rather than a local user ID? Should I set up a local user ID and try to access that from the media player? It seems closer to the way my old system was set up. Thanks in advance for any info you all can provide!

Hello Dalchina,
Thanks a lot for all the info, I see what you mean about networking
in windows 10, sure don't recall it being this complicated in windows seven.
I'll check out your instructions but any idea how I lost access to the
Z9s in the first place? When I first set up this windows 10 PC,
I did notice in file explorer under network, something called openwrt
which I've ever seen before. I began to click on it subdirectories
and realized it was the Z9S. I had full access, was able to write files to
it just like before like a my old windows seven PC. The openWRT icon was there
for about a week then just disappeared. Any idea what may have happened to it?
I didn't make any changes to the system so I'm hoping it might be an easy fix
just to get that back, any thoughts?
Again, thanks for your help.
