NSA325 - NAS Drive - Access via Windows Explorer




Hi,
I have an NSA 325 drive connected on my home network. I am struggling to browse and manage files simply using Windows file browser. When I type the IP address of the NAS drive in a Windows Explorer window, it re-directs me to -
http://192.168.*.**/r51009,/playzone,/
I guess this is the Twonky Media server?
Is there a way to just browse the device using explorer for a faster browsing experience? Or can someone recommend another option as I find this interface clunky and not easy to manage files.
Sorry for the basic question but it' really bugging me.
Thanks in advance.

I have no NSA3xx at hand now, so I don't know what exacly can be found at playzone,. The NSA325 has a filebrowser, which you might find when you browse to http://192.168.X.Y/ in a webbrowser.
But what you probably want is samba access. Problem here is that Windows dropped smb1 support for safety reasons, while the '325 doesn't support anything newer. You can re-enable smb1 support on W10 (Google for it). Don't know for W11.
When smb1 support is enabled, you should be able to access the NAS by typing \\192.168.X.Y\ in Explorer.
Another option is to install a newer Samba on that 325. Search the forum. It boils down to installing MetaRepostory, then Entware-ng, and finally an Entware package containing a newer Samba+inject script.
