I recently flashed my NetGear R7500 V1 to be able to use VPN on it and all works well for me. The only thing I am missing is to be able to connect the USB drive to the router and access it through laptop or my android TV.
Before flashing I used Netgear's easyshare feature and was able to input the IP address of the harddrive to my tv or laptop and been able to share files easily.

I tried to use NAS and the hardrive was mounted to my router but I am not able to find the IP address of the drive so I can access as an FTP. is there a way to get the IP of the usb drive in DDWRT?

Welcome to the forum

Unfortunately you were posting in the wrong forum.

The General Questions forum is not for asking router specific questions, see the second announcement in that forum: STOP!-READ FIRST: This area is NOT for router help! READ!

No problem as I will transfer this post to the appropriate forum. Smile

See the forum guidelines with helpful pointers about how to research your router, where and what firmware to download, where and how to post and many other helpful tips:

Start with telling us what build you are running

The IP is the LAN IP of the Router.
