I have a Buffalo Network storage device, and I am unable to access the files on it through file explorer.
I was able to access these files on older versions of windows, but not on windows 10.
Any ideas please.

Control Panel - Network and Sharing Center - Change Advanced Sharing Settings
Under network discovery, and file/print sharing, are they are on? Also
Expand your network, and look for "turn off password protected sharing" and toggle it off.
Let me know if this helps!
Not sure if you already have the NAS Navigator software for Buffalo, but it may help the connection:

It is connected by Ethernet cable to hub,as I thought as a network device.
Nas Navigator 2 is installed.
Hi Didge,
If you try \XX.XX.XX.XX (IP address of NAS), any luck?
Let me know!
What is it and how is it attached to the computer?
Have you looked in Disk Management to see if it has a drive letter?
Have you looked in Device Manager to see if it is active?
