Hello friend. I just acquired a vmg8825 router and attached my ext hhd with my music files to it. I can see all the files from my Mac and from my iPad, but sonos can not find them.  pathway ought to be 192-168.1.1/ nmt/ usb2_sds2/sonos or any variation of this. no way can I make it work.  Please help!

yes sorry for the mistype //192.168.1.1/ mnt  results in  “no mnt share on this computer”. sonos version 11.3   I can not find the smb version on the vmg8825 router. I know that can be a issue ?   usb harddisk fomated to Macos extended
