I found the solution by the way…...I needed to add the disc number after the ip address….BEFORE the MAPFolder. so //192.168.xx.xx/g/mapname. in this case the router used a g for my USB disk. Very strange, but maybe good to know for others .. Thanks everyone

Does this router treat attached USBs as an NAS? Or is it just a networked drive?

Stanley, thanks,, I looked at all of that, but no progress. Bruce- I think its called a mini NAS, for basic functionality….

Please remove the digits after 168 of your the IP Address for security reasons 😊

The IP Address should be the location of the USB stick followed by a folder name:

Try this:

//192.168.xx.xx/name of folder that contains your music

or

//192.168.xx.xx (assuming the entire USB stick contains music files and nothing else). However, I don’t recommend this format which is “iffy”

Why? It’s a local IP address, absolutely useless to anyone unless on the OP’s network, which would imply a much bigger security problem.
