usb device hosted on NAS not showing up on windows client

Submitted by dirkys on #1

I have plugged 2 usb devices (forusrite 2i2 - which i intend to use and standard tplink wifi dongle) on my synology nas.
Server is running (app redirects to /webman/3rdparty/VirtualHere/index.html indicating all is working fine
I do not see any devices on my windows client (auto detect is on)

both devices are wired connected to R7000 router.

thinking what could go wrong:
-anything needs to be configured wrt network ports?
-does de server need drivers for the device or the client? (currently only on client side)

other suggestions?

Everything should be automatic, the client should automatically detect the server and show the attached devices.

Try manually specifying the hub in the client by right clicking USB Hubs->Specify Hubs->Add put in the IP address of your router then colon then 17570 (because synology uses 17570 for the virtualhere server, all other platforms use 7575)
