My old TP-Link router has recently started dropping my internet connection on a regular basis becoming completely unreliable. So I plugged in a new TP-Link router which I hoped would give me a more reliable internet connection but unfortunately I can now no longer connect to my Terastation. When I click on it I get the following message
“An error occurred when reconnecting Z: to \\TS-XL6FD\share Microsoft Windows Network: The local device name is already in use. The connection has not been restored.”
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I have tried looking at the IP addresses to check that they match but that hasn’t got me anywhere so far. I have tried assigning a different drive letter or changing the name of the drive but that hasn’t worked either. I’m getting rather fed up with wasting time trying to find a solution to this problem. I have 1,000s of photos stored on my NAS which I need to be able to access, I can access them using the old router but I obviously also need a reliable internet connection.
I’m currently still using an ancient PC running Vista, I should ideally upgrade it but I want to resolve this issue first.
Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.
