Depends on how you have configured the usb via the router software to be shared. Lots of information on how to do it if you google and it works as I previouslly had a ASUS router (its now in retirement in the loft)
I just googled:
“access usb storage asus router“

How do I use it as a storage area so i can see it from the media player and change location as i require it and be able to record tv to it as an alternative drive

Does it show up in movielist - yellow button location?

The images in post #1 are difficult to read.

The pdf file shows 2 network shares (using different versions of samba and different mount points).

I'd start again from scratch and get the parameters right first time, I've found that updating an existing mount point ends up creating another one, not what the dialogue suggests it will do.

The key file is /etc/auto.network, there shouldn't be any duplicates in there.
