In *general* terms, most routers are embedded Linux boxes, and for
storage on a Linux machine to be available over a LAN to Windows users,
the Linux machine must be running Samba. However, whether your
particular router has installed the necessary system files to support
Samba most probably will have to be determined from its literature,
though you could try an experiment on a Windows PC. If you're lucky,
and the requisite functionality on the router is both present and
enabled by default, launching an explorer window and entering into the
address bar ...
\\<IP Address of your router>
... would give a 'list' of shares in the right hand part of the window
- 'list' in quotes because probably there will only be one - which
you would then <double-click> to see what is on the drive. Otherwise,
OOTTOMH I can't remember whether you ever told us the actual router
model, which might enable others to help you, else I'm afraid it's RTFM.
I'm unlikely to be able to help with a modern router, as I'm running a
BT Home Hub 5a which I've hacked and reflashed with OpenWRT, and that
gives me the ability to install particular functionality to suit my
needs, in my case to support using a 4G USB stick with a data SIM as my
main broadband connection, which works very well. However, most people
just use an off-the-shelf system, and whether they can do a particular
thing with their router depends entirely on whether the manufacturer
chose to include that functionality in their firmware, and that is most
probably the case for you.
