On my previous router, I had it all setup so I go into iPhone > Files app > Connect to Server > and I had a 192 type smb address thingie setup so I could view certain Users' directories (Windows elven11 laptop) and exchange files between the two devices and even make actual changes like deleting shit and creating new folders or renaming or moving stuff around.

SOLVED I figured out the problem and the ipconfig tip was very helpful to getting the actual address (ipv4 address)

The IP address of the machine you're connecting to has probably changed. If the previous had a DHCP lease, that wouldn't migrate with the new router.

Go on your Windows machine and open up a command prompt. Type in "ipconfig" (no quotes) and validate the machines IP address. It should start with 192 or 10 most likely. Maybe 172.

If it's the same as it used to be, that's not the issue. But my bet is that it's changed.

Theres

Link-Local IPv6 192...
IPv4 Address 255...
...
Default Gateway 192...

Take a look again. The 255.etc is probably the subnet mask. The actual IPv4 is probably 192.168.etc. Whatever that IP address is needs to match what you have set in your iPhone files location.

I think its other way around. That seems like the tail wagging the dog. Its

iPhone -> access Windows directories

not Windows -> access iPhone directories, its sort of 1 way

Right, so how do we do that?

It was the ipv4 address that worked :) All good now
