You have a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device - I don't think it's possible to directly connect via USB.

In a former post you stated your setup (connected via gigabit switch etc) and you have problems with speeds when moving files on to your NAS.

i did ask in my last comment if you could test a normal setup - normal setup is pc connected (direct and wired) to router and nas connected (direct and wired) to router.  Removing the gigabit switch and any other potential bottleneck/interference (WIFI).  If your speeds are still the same as before then we know it's an issue with either the pc settings or the NAS.

Getting into a good stable Gb network switch and using CAT6 cabling would be recommended. Using cheap switches or mamaged switches can introduce problems in performance. Using a good working non-managed switch between the PC and NAS would be preferred and eliminate any un-necessary router processing or problems that maybe seen with host routers. Good recommended switches I have and tested are D-Link DCS metal case series and HP ProCurve un-managed switches. Also cabling is very important and would be recommended to use all new CAT6 cabling. If you have any doubts, get new cables. I tend not to use cables that come in box with devices as they have been known not to be Mfrd right sometimes.

I have connected like this but I can't connect. To be honest I couldn't connect before I re-wired either so I'm not sure whats wrong.

I get "An error occurred while connecting Z: to \\DLINK-2275A5\Volume_1 Microsoft Windows Network: The network path was not found. The connection has not been restored"

I am such an amateur with networking so don't really know where to go from here without using the d-link cd but last time I did that I wiped 6TB of data!!

You can access the DNS web page, or look at the routers DHCP IP address table to see what is listed there...

ok so I found the DHCP table with all current and old devices listed and I tried to map a drive to all of the wired IP's that I didn't recognise or have listed as other devices but nothing works

"By default, if the 320L can't get an IP from DHCP, then it's IP sets to 192.168.0.32"
Also if you have an Iphone or Android phone, get mDNS Watch app to see if you can find the IP address...
What is the LAN IP address of the router? 192.168.0.1?

my router is 192.168.1.254 and that default 0.32 IP you mention definitely isn't it. I also cant find an app called MyDNS Watch or anything similar on the google play store..

Ah ha. I was wondering if your IP address pool was different. So try 192.168.1.32. I think you've been trying to access 192.168.0.##...

Ok have you factory reset the DNS and then look at the DCHP IP address table on the router?

Try using the apps mentioned to see what the IP address is as well if you can...

You may need to phone contact your regional D-Link support office and ask for help on this...
