Belkin N450 DB Appears as 'router' as an entry under 'Shared'. What's the username and password to access this "Shared" device?

I recently got this router, Belkin N450 DB (F9K1105 v1001), and after connecting to it (like I am right now) I went to my finder to open up a file. I noticed 'router' as an entry under Shared as if there was another computer on this wireless network I could access.


Being of curious mind and nature I have tried every possible username and password I could concieve of. No luck...


I called tech support; got told by someone, that should have been a native speaker of English, over and over that there was nothing wrong with the device seeing as I was connected to it through the wifi correctly. I tried to let her know that I know that. I was just trying to access a feature that was available to the product apparently. Here's a screen shot to show you all what I'm talking about exactly.

And I suggested many times to this Belkin text support lady that I send her the screen shot so she would know what I was talking about because she obviously wasn't grasping the message I was trying to communicate to her; ha-ha!

Although that may be true...


If I click the "Connect As..." button it asks for a username and password.


I've experienced connecting to other user's computers on a network. To gain access to their computer, I just use their username and password. I've done this before to transfer files without using a flash drive or burned disk.


I'm trying to find out what I'm supposed to log on as to gain access to this device...

My point is that yes, I'm connected to it by wifi. Otherwise it wouldn't show up; ha-ha!


Is my point really that hard to grasp?
