    Advice on Media Streaming with PC Connecting Wirelessly to NAS

    Thanks for the reply. Perhaps to keep things extremely simple, I could connect a WD TV Live to the network and simply play all the content stored on the NAS. I wouldn't need to worry about the PC connecting wirelessly, and it might not even need to be on. I must admit, I do like the look and...

    Advice on Media Streaming with PC Connecting Wirelessly to NAS

    I will be moving into an older house soon, and I am looking for a solution to be able to stream media (TV/Movies – 720p) stored on my NAS to an LG HD TV (not a Smart TV) and also wirelessly to an iPad, and Macbook pro. Unfortunately this house has only one cable outlet downstairs by the TV, and...

    I was trying to access this page from work, and got a warning about using an older browser. Tried this page at home, and no problems at all accessing the mediafire site.

    How do I flash the ASUS NT-N66U with Asuswrt-Merlin firmware?

    From the WIKI, the instructions only say: Just flash it the same way you would flash any regular Asus firmware I couldn't find instructions on the ASUS Knowledge Base/FAQs for flashing this router, but I found the information on page #40 of the User Guide! - Upgrading the Firmware. I have...

    How do I flash the ASUS NT-N66U with Asuswrt-Merlin firmware?

    I apologize for this general question, but I have read many posts, visited all links related to the Asuswrt-RMerlin build (the latest being 3.0.0.4.270.25), but I can't find instructions on HOW to do this. There is a wealth of information on WHAT this firmware does, but not the steps needed to...

    VPN Service Settings on Router using Asuswrt-Merlin

    Thank you RMerlin very much. I have not yet set this router up (switching ISPs soon), but I am glad that my VPN service supports OpenVPN as does your custom firmware for this router. I really appreciate your helpfulness and fast response!

    Can I stream videos from a USB drive connected to the RT-N66U with the PC off?

    I see that the WD TV Live is not wireless (without an adapter), so what limitations would that have on streaming videos? If I have both an external hard drive and the WD TV Live plugged into the Asus router, and the WD TV Live connected to to the TV via HDMI, will that work fine? Is there any...

    Can I stream videos from a USB drive connected to the RT-N66U with the PC off?

    Thanks for the reply RMerlin. Can you make any recommendations? I have researched this a lot, and the choices are many, but some will require workarounds or various plugins. I like the Roku, but does not support DLNA natively, and might need a channel (like Roxsbox) to utilize DLNA?. The Boxee...

    I am looking for a solution to be able to watch videos/TV shows from a USB hard drive connected to the RT-N66U router, with the PC turned off. What media player (i.e. WD TV Live/Hub, Roku, etc...) would be suitable so that it could access the videos on a drive attached to the router, without...
