    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“
    Gigablue Quad 4K & UE 4K
    .........FBC Tuners:
    ------------------> DUR-Line DCR 5-1-8-L4 Multiswitch to 1.5M dish(28.2E)
    ------------------> Spaun SUS 5581/33 NFA Multiswitch to 80 cm dish(19.2E)
    .......................> FBC & DVB-S2X into 90cm dish (27.5W) Opticum robust Unicable LNB
    AX HD61, Edision Osmio 4K+, Zgemma H9Combo, Octagon SF8008 , gbtrio4k, h9se using Legacy ports on multiswitches
    Zgemma H9 C/S into Giga4K

    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.
