Getting Past EZSetup

[dosequis15]

I've been trying to install the router using the EZSetup button in conjunction with the EZSetup software utility.

I updated both the firmware and utilities from the Asus website. I've also turned off all virus scan software.

Unfortunately, I can not complete the EZSetup successfully. During the third step (i guess where the router is communicating information back to the laptop), the installation stops and I am informed there was an error. However, there's no specific error issued, I am merely told to reset the router and re-start the installation.

Every attempt ends the same way.

I have tried installing in small pieces (ie. not installing the network disk), with no change in the results.

Any help??

I am okay with not using the EZSetup to install the router, but I woud like the convenience of having the network drive appear as a letter in My Computer. (If I do not do this, how can I access the drive conveniently??)

Thanks!!!

you could try to map the network drive in the windows explorer.

\\192.168.1.1\MYSHARE1 and your user and pw (if you have ubsa enabled).

Thanks Gratitude! That sounds like a good way to get the functionality I need.

I also found the below previous issue with some resolution I will attemp. Does anyone else have any thoughts??

THanks!

Thanks again gratitude.

I finally decided to give up on the EZSetup (and I see from the forum that I am likely not the only one).

I eventually did all the install using the router's internal software (logging into 192.168.1.1).

Going through the Window's wireless network setup again, I finally am able to connect wirelessly.

I was also able to successfully connect to the router's HD using gratitude's method: map the network drive in windows explorer to "\\192.168.1.1\MYSHARE1" . One additional note about this which was not completely elaborated by gratitude: once you've gotten windows explorer to connect to the HD, it will consider it a network drive. If you right click on this network drive, you should be able to "Map network drive" to give it a specific drive letter.

Now that I've gotten the basics working it's time to play with my new toy!
