Hi all, I am having a creepy issue. I work in a digital marketing agency. So, we largely depend on the internet. We have 2 routers in our office space for ensuring the uninterrupted internet flow.
One is a load balance router (TP link Model- TL-R470T+) and the other one is a wifi networking router (Model- Netgear R8000).
Two broadband lines connect to the load balance router (TP link Model- TL-R470T+) and through the LAN port of the balance loaded router, we connected the load balance router with the Netgear (Model- Netgear R8000).
We use a switch port through which we distribute internet connections to PC’s wired/wirelessly. Netgear has 2 USB ports. One is used for the printer and the other is for an external HDD. The external HDD is used as a group sharing network. But now we aren’t finding the HDD and the printer in any pcs as a network sharing device. Any solution please?
 
Solution
when you look on the Router in your menu you see the HDD right ? then what is the name assigned to it.
the ip of the hdd will be the same and the name can be accessed by \\nameof HDD\folder
