what do you have to type on the music library set up screen to find your usb stick in a router

So i have been reading threads on plusnet and here.   With sonos removing the ability to play music from my tablet with the app on it, i thought i would try out using a USB in the back of the router as a basic NAS

 

So i have gone to library / add new share screen,  input some info, it then goes away and comes back, nothing added,  so its not finding the path, the three lines i tried are below  but is the  slash  / or \  (As sonos preinput)

//pnhub2/usb1

smbclient //pnhub2/usb1 -U GUEST -I 192.168.1.254

(Blank)

 

The other factor is I'm using a usb splitter.

    It seems like you're trying to set up a USB drive connected to your router as a basic NAS for your Sonos system. The slashes you use in the paths depend on the protocol you're using. If you're using the SMB protocol, which is common for network file sharing, you should use forward slashes (/). Double-check the USB splitter to ensure it's not causing any connection issues. If the paths you provided aren't working, you might want to confirm that the USB drive is correctly connected and accessible on your network.
