Hello, i have been having a problem connecting to my seagate external hard drive that is connected to my 2nd gen AirPort Extreme base station from my ipad or iphone. I have no problem connecting from ios to NAS when my laptop is already connected but i cant figure out why it wont connect without the laptop already being connected. Its kind of a pain when i have to turn on my laptop before i can connect to the hard drive with my ipad, it defeats the purpose of having NAS. I have been looking all over on the internet for a soluion but cant seem to find anyone with this problem. If anyone can please help that would be greatly appreciated!

i was having issues connecting to my connected drive so I picked up FileBrowser in the app store. It works great

ive used filebrowser and have no problem connecting only when my laptop is already connected. Its when my laptop isnt connected to the drive is when my ipad wont either. its almost like the ipad isnt able to wake up the hard drive... i cant figure it out
