Raspberry Pi Forums

Hi. I would like if somebody could tell me, or direct me to a tutorial about how to connect my Samsung USB drive to my Raspberry PI model 4B via my Fritzbox router. Thanks.

If you have a Windows computer and can connect to the drive using that, it should be possible to modify those instructions to work for the Pi.

"If you have a Windows computer and can connect to the drive using that, it should be possible to modify those instructions to work for the Pi".

A NAS on a router, which has a Windows computer attached, is just plug and play. I'm afraid the Raspberry PI needs some extra configuration to see the NAS on the router. I've been at this for nearly aweek, and can find no help to do this configuration exercise. I can only keep trawling the internet, I suppose There is no readily available tutorial either on the PI help pages or from the PI Hut. I'm on the verge of giving up on the project.

I can access the NAS on my router.
and mounted it via fstab

how I did it was check how windows sees the NAS drive (ex. //192.168.1.1/disk_part1)
and used that info in mounting it to my RPis.

have you tried trying to connect to the NAS drive via the file manager's
Go --> Network

@LTolledo. Thanks for that. I'll investigate fstab. The NAS is clearly visible in the router's configuration page when I type in it's IP address.
