Go to My files -> Network storage -> Add network storage -> Select Network Drive SMB ( Your phone will search for drives on WiFi network) -> Select the network drive -> Enter login credentials if needed -> Then click on add button to finish the process .
You can view the shared drive folder & file which can be opened & downloaded to your phone .

Let me know if you able to access your hard disk by following this method .

you have to allow sharing of your drive in smb mode if you want to link to your computer.

also both your phone and your shared drive must be on same wifi network

just connecting your drive to router is not correct way. you have to have a server software if you want to do that. best is connect the 1 tb to your computer and share it in your computer and then try
