No problem, before you put your D-Link into retirement, just make sure you are using the latest firmware, if you are using the latest firmware, then hopefully you will look at Netgear or ASUS for future router options
Whilst the entire net is now hiding from Network on both machines, my net shares can be accessed via the search box or cmd prompt,
I have been able to access the test stick in the router, but only as a media server and via VLC. Far from satisfactory !
I’ll pass on Netgear as the last update to the Nighthawk wrecked ReadyShare and the only exported settings file is years old.
Thanks again for your input.
