Has anyone else noticed how often reports of difficulty connecting to a NAS turn out to be for systems using a WiFi router's file-sharing capability as the NAS. This has been true for a long time with respect to Fritz!Box routers and now we see the GL-MT300N-V2 as well. As my grandmother used to say, "there's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip."

@jonners

To rule out any dns vs mdns silliness, what happens when you try manually entering host/share either as GL-MT300N-V2.local/sda1 or as <router IP address>/sda1?

Were the router on my network, for example, the latter would be 10.0.0.1/sda1 

I looked at https://docs.gl-inet.com/en/3/tutorials/file_sharing/ and didn't see anything out of the ordinary. The router seems to be based on OpenWRT which is a venerable piece of kit. The documentation is heavily skewed toward MS-Windows users, though, which can be annoying.

Thanks for the help Kent, but no luck with either of those entries.

For the time being I'm reverting to 7.6.1, which mounts my NAS disc with the SCAN showing the path as GL-MT300N-V2/sda1
