Hi

I am very new and inexperienced in this area.

I have a Huawei HG659 router connected to the internet and operating my home network. I have just setup  picoreplayer on my network and I am trying to mount a USB drive I have connected to the router to the player network. The software requires information about the IP address of the drive but I cannot find this information within the GUI of the router. (I am logged in with admin rights and I can see the device but cannot find the IP address)

As an aside I can connect this drive to my home network using windows.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry Chenxintao
I have added a usb drive to my RPi by plugging directly into the RPi but really want to add another USB HDD connected directly to the HG659. This is so I can share it with other devices.

I have tried your IP address and it did not work. The mount point is something related to Linux and is needed to enable the mounting of the drive in Picoreplayer.

I enabled ftp and checked the file path for the USB and it is
ftp://mediarouter.home/Western_Digital-10583432_usb1_1/My Music/
I have added a usb drive to my RPi but I also want to add another USB HDD connected to the HG659. This is where I have problems.

Hi, friend!

I am sorry!

Perhaps the problem is getting clearer, excuse my crude draft, as mentioned earlier, is your problem with the PC not accessing USB2?

Hello, friend!

First, the HG659 has reached EOS in 2019.

And then according to your description:

You can access the USB driver of the HG659 through FTP on the Windows operating system, which is within the promised service scope.

Regarding RPi, I have confirmed to the device developers that we do not support mount points.

Thanks!

Hi Chenxintao

Firstly your schematic is correct. The problem is that I cannot get the RPi to access USB2. I can access USB1 & 2 using windows. From what you have said It does not seem I can directly access USB2 using the Rpi. unless I upgrade my HG659. Is this correct. Do you know of any model of Huawei routers that will allow me to solve my problem?

Hi,
I am sorry! My friend!
I've confirmed:
We only guarantee that Windows can access the USB port of the ONT. We cannot guarantee that the RPi can access the USB port of the ONT.

EOS refers to the end of providing services for a product.
Maybe it's not the model, maybe the two devices are not compatible.
