How about one step further. I want to use Asus USB disk for LAN Access and cloud access on Android/ Apple smartphone. AICloud app allows upload via + sign but no direct Share function.
How could we use Asus USB SSD disk as cloud accessible via LAN ( already is – check) and with Share to function on smartphones?
One idea is to keep one’s PC local Copy on Asus USB SSD but have problems with permissions (Sync cloud) despite Guest login allowed.
I followed your instructions, but when I enter the IP address of the router (or click its name in Network), I’m brought to a login page for the router GUI. Any idea what’s wrong?
The disk is recognized and the media server setting is active. I’ve configured the disk to allow anonymous access.
Same happens to me tried with everything. It can see the disk as mediadriver but I cant access it to put in files, only open the router login page, if I try to map it it says I need smb2… have it on my computer, just checked with PowerShell that it was active but I guess the router not having it. No idea how to get this to work
How can i make from my usb hdd connected in asus RT AC58U a NAS ? From internet pass in two router´s ( First ISP router, second the Asus router) and access the disc in usb port. Thanks from you help and ideias.

Do I need to format the drive after connecting it to the router? I have a drive with files already on it that I would like to connect to the router and would prefer not to format it again if possible.
I too have not managed to connect to the USB disk yet [all went well in the router] via the W10 File explorer ‘Network’ address field, my system simply opens up a browser for ASUS log on… BUT BEFORE THAT I would like to know if the router NAS feature is still available if I configure the router as an access point? I must keep my providers modem [cable] router so the ASUS will be second in line. I can go for Bridging or DMZ in the providers router but if the NAS option still works in AP mode it means I also kan keep my first router as Wifi station too [extending my Wifi coverage]
What if I use a Mac computer? You only mention Windows or Linux system.
We don’t have a Mac available for this tutorial. Sorry about that.

You need to format it only if the router doesn’t mount it correctly. Otherwise, the formatting should be not necessary.
Very helpful. This gave me the hints I needed to make the attached USB drive accessible. Thanks.
very clear
