A few months ago I purchased an Asus AC68U Wireless router to achieve better wi-fi speed and equip my new home for future wi-fi enabled devices (phones, TV, etc).
Additionally, I purchased a 2TB Seagate Backup Plus Slim. My goal here is to link to HD to the USB 3.0 Port of the Asus and use the HD as a de facto network drive for the 3 laptops, 2 iphones, and 1TV currently connected to my home network. However, for the life of me I CANNOT figure out how to get this whole thing set up. The Asus does recognize the Seagate HD on the native dashboard, but I have been unable to map the HD using shortcuts with any of the devices on the network.
I contacted Seagate and they told me that this HD is not designed/capable of the task I am describing, before directing me to a portion of their website where I could buy a more expensive (and unnecessary) NAS unit.
It seems like I may be missing an early step here but I just can't think through this myself. Can anyone help??
