Network Usb stick sharing Problem
I have a usb stick which is permanently plugged in to my router (a BT Smart Hub) so that it can be used as a network storage device. Recently when trying to open the drive it has been impossible to open it. If I remove the stick from the router and plug it into a usb socket on the pc I can view and access it's contents normally so nothing appears to be wrong with the stck itself. An error message comes up suggesting that there is something wrong with the file name which is :- \\192.168.1.254\usb1 but this seems normal to me. Can anyone explain why I can't access the stick from the network. Normal internet access though the router is fine either by ethernet or wireless. My pc is running W10Pro version 22H2.
