    Hi All!

    I bought a new router Asus RT-N12 and everything runs smoothly but I can't access my network drive that is connected to router via network cable. It worked fine with old router but now nothing.

    Nework drive is LG's and LG NAS detector does find the drive but can't access it. NAS detector shows info and drive's gateway is same IP as router so should be ok.

    How are you trying to connect? Can you put the NAS's IP in your browser and connect? (Usually they have a web interface) or go to "start" and type \\NAS's IP, should open explorer with the NAS shares. - Notice backslashes.
    If the IP range is 192.168.1.x, is the subnet 255.255.255.0?

    Subnet is ok and when trying to go directly to NAS I get can't access notification.
