I'm using a GL.iNet AX3000 router (firmware current as of Oct 2025) and attempting to access a connected USB drive via WebDAV from a Windows 11 25H2 ARM-based PC. The router is intended to be a front end for the drive.
I already found in Windows 10 that to get access I have to connect to the AX3000 router as my wi-fi network. However, I then can’t connect to my Wi-Fi connected printer, etc. Those devices are connected and have to stay Wi-Fi connected to my ISP’s router. That’s not ideal, but workable in Windows 10. Windows 11 is another story. So please don’t tell me I failed to connect to the router’s wi-fi.
Other settings are:
-
WebDAV is enabled in the admin panel
-
Port is set to 6008
-
Shared folder path is
/disk1_part1, disk name:OLCMC 2024 -
“Allow Access WebDAV from WAN” is toggled on
-
No option exists to allow WebDAV access from LAN
From my LAN-connected PC, Cyberduck 9.2.4 (dated 15 Sep 2025) consistently returns:
-
401 Unauthorizedwhen using correct router credentials -
405 Not Allowedwhen trying anonymous login or alternate paths
I’ve confirmed:
-
WebDAV service is reachable at
192.168.8.1:6008 -
Credentials match router login
-
Path
/disk1_part1is valid and mounted
There appears to be no way to enable WebDAV access from LAN clients. The only toggle is WAN-specific, and LAN requests are rejected even with valid credentials.
Can you confirm whether LAN access via WebDAV is supported on AX3000? If not, is there a firmware workaround or alternate method to expose /disk1_part1 to LAN clients via WebDAV or FTP?
I’ve already tested SMB1, FTP, and fallback tools like WinSCP and Cyberduck.
Thanks in advance.
