D-link Port Devices Drivers

For some newer routers like the DIR-865L series, using the (Storage(A0)) may not work, however looking at the assigned storage name that the router gives the connected devcie, using this in place of the (Storage(A0)) seems to work as I was able to Map the drive using 192.168.0.1 Host Name Given By Router format. The driver for the D-Link RangeBooster N USB Adapter is usually provided on an installation CD by the manufacturer. The same can be downloaded from the official D-link website. The benefits of downloading the driver is that the manufacturer website usually provide the most recent and updated drivers for use on the device.
