It's a NTFS drive connected via USB. It's somehow natively available to an Android-based Sony Bravia TV but can't be seen on any PC.

I'm a novice when it comes to Samba and CIFS.

Assistance would be welcomed!

Can you access it by IP Address i.e \\192.168.1.1\<share name>?

Is Samba on the router and the PCs in the same Workgroup?

What version are you using? There are incompatibilities with Windows 10 and older samba/build versions

For R7000 use the latest Kong version

1. Can't access via \\192.168.1.1\mnt or any such.

2. PCs are in Workgroup and so is router (NAS/Samba Server) where the Server String is empty.

3. In the meantime, I've managed to get the USB settings to see the drive by enabling Automatic Drive Mount and specifying the volume label in Mount to /opt:

--- /dev/sda1
Block device, size 465.8 GiB (500105740288 bytes)
Windows BOOTMGR boot loader
NTFS file system
UUID CABE119ABE11805D
Volume size 465.8 GiB (500105739776 bytes, 976769023 sectors)
/dev/sda1 mounted to /tmp/mnt/sda1

4. Can't get Administration/CIFS Automount to work

Better use the latest Kong build, test build is working, I am using it on my R6400 (with USB , Samba, miniDLNA): http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/K3-AC-Arm/TEST/
or use
Code:
ddup --flash-latest
from command prompt

Administration/CIFS is from the old days (I think, never used it).

Attached my notes for USB hope it helps

The external USB Support hard drive mapping has changed to /opt and the drive contains two directories: Music & Pictures. I've added two File Sharing entries on the NAS tab:

1. /opt Music Music Public Read/Write

2. /opt Pictures Pictures Public Read/Write

What confounds me now is how to access them on a Win10 PC (with SMB 1.0/CIFS enabled).

Sorry, but I need help with what I hope is the final step.

No that will not work as you did not have named any windows share opt
You named the Windows shares Music and Pictures
So if everyting works you can access them by \\192.168.1.1\Music etc.
Actually \\192.68.1.1 should work also and you should see all the shares.
When using a subdirecty (field Subdir) you have to keep in mind this is case sensitive and you have to set the real path, use WInSCP if in doubt to see the real path.
Just start without the Subdir field to check if it is working.

First check if your router is accessible from your client surf or ping to 192.168.1.1 to see of it is reachable.

Post a picture of your USB and NAS settings (not more than 600 pixels width)

Hurrah! \\192.168.1.1\Music works just fine.

Thanks to all for the assistance. I'm most pleased.

BTW, the LAN is solid and so is the router-based VPN.
