If you use the SMB server to share files, use the app called Owlfiles instead of the glinet app, it’s really good and works great, give it a try trust me, that’s what I use on iOS/Android to share files quickly. Use glinet for monitoring your network and some basic stuff

Thanks Steve - sounds like a plan…¬¬

What bugs me is the app worked fine until I did a router factory reset…Aaaargh
I deleted app wiped cache everything - its like it remembers the passwords

I used to use the glinet app before but after I tried Owlfiles I switched to that one, it’s simple to use, it is compatible with SMB, WebDav and a los of connection types. It also has a clean interface, I’ve personally had a great experience.

Steve -
working with tech support - this issue is resolved

you cannot have special characters in the router admin password
I had a " which it didnt like
I think @ is ok

THANK YOU. I spent wayyyy too long trying to figure out the issue. I had a “$” in my admin password. Not sure why this would trip it all up, but removing it fixed the issue.
