Hi,

I am using Singtel AC1200 gigabit wireless router and a 128GB USB drive attached to it. My Windows 7 and 8 systems can access it but not Windows 10 systems. Any tips on how to enable the Windows 10 systems to access the USB drive is much appreciated.

not why u even bother with such a "nas" option... the drive speed would be severely limited to less than 15mb/s which would make the experience not even worth the time and effort.

Get a proper nas bah

Thanks for all your replies. My current of transferring a bunch of excel files via USB thumb drive is a pain. It's convenience way of sharing files.

Manage to get it to work for Windows 10 by enabling SMB1. Thanks.

No credit card info or anything valuable. Just some excel spreadsheet and macros for testing purposes.
