Thanks.  I gave the latter command as root, but it asks for a password: it
isn't the root's password, neither my normal user password and neither router's
web GUI password.  So I don't know what it may ever be:

# mount.cifs //192.168.1.1/USB_Storage /mnt/public
Password for root@//192.168.1.1/USB_Storage:  
mount error(115): Operation now in progress
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
