Cant access nas4free CIFS/SMB from wireless devices

Post by tfast500 »

Version - 9.2.0.1 - Shigawire (revision 943)

I have several computers/devices on my home network. I am only able to access my nas4free shares on lan devices
I am unable to access the shares on my wlan am i missing a setting or what do i need to do to resolve this issue

I made sure all my devices were on same workgroup. I tried to connect by the ipaddress \\192.168.1.114

i can however get to the plex, web, and nas4free webportal from any device.

any other thoughts?

btw i can see my lan PCs from my WLAN devices just not the nass4free server

I do and it is no problem
but
my LAN is likely different

hardware?

I use an access point down stream from the router
if you are using a router wifi combo check the settings.

Many WLAN Access points have a parameter, which allows/disallow visibility of the WLAN neigbours.
