Hi!
I successfully extended my home network to another floor by wiring lan cable down and putting an acces point there with an extra built in lan port to connect one device per LAN.
I have a netgear nighthawk x4s. On the thing I have a usb drive plugged in. its configured to be accessed through \\mydrive\myfolder
[USB drive]—(usb)–[nighthawk router]----(lan)----[mikrotic cAP ax]—(lan)—[my PC]
Usually on the windows pc (before having that AP in that chain) I did set it up as network path and could access it. On my android phone I can access it through the cx file explorer app.
On the windows pc i cant find it as media server, and i cant connect it as network drive. Not sure whats going on.
btw per google i also found the windows feature setting for smb 1.0 cifs file i disabled all but the client. but it didnt help.
Im thankful for any info!
here the configs:
Looks like you’re running two routers on your network. That’s generally not something you want to do unless you have a specific reason. I’m assuming you have DHCP running on both. Which means your PC is on a different subnet from the rest of the network and behind a double NAT. Try turning off DHCP/router mode on the mikrotic.
