    DLNA Media Server not working

    3.0.0.3.155 DLNA better than 3.0.0.4.372.1393 I was using 3.0.0.112 firmware for a year now with generally good results on DLNA capabiliy. I decided to upgrade to the latest 3.0.0.4.372 version. The SAMBA sharing was rock solid and I didn't pick up any cross-linking errors. However the DLNA...

    RT-N66U telnet command for changing date/time?

    I lost my inet connection via ISP due to bad weather (no NTP). I want to set the date and time manually using telnet. I tried the Linux command: # date -s "12 JUL 2012 18:00:00" but it doesn't work.... can anyone help please?

    ASUS RT-N66U USB HDD cross-linking and master file table errors

    I get 1.5-2 Mbytes/s write and 5-6 Mbytes/s read... slightly slower than reported by piotrpiano . I'm on ASUS .112 fw though. The Tomato and RMerlin fw are quicker... on fw .90 I was a whole lot quicker .. I once managed a write up to 3.8 Mbytes/s.

    Asus RT-N66U + DLNA?

    ....mmm.... I think if you are willing to do homework with file management regarding syncing and file format the RT-N66U can do the job.... I am chucking the WNDR4500 due to poor DLNA indexing performance and lack of support to deal with it....I get the feeling that DLNA in general is a bit of a...

    ASUS RT-N66U USB HDD cross-linking and master file table errors

    ... tested with ext3... I was put off with the previous unit (which I returned because it was deemed faulty) but I must say I can confirm on this unit that ext3 is more stable. I powered off and back on the router (simulating a power cut).... and the file system remained 'clean'. I even did...

    Asus RT-N66U + DLNA?

    ...I only know that there are beta versions up to .155. The last offical one is .112. ASUS always work on fw upgrades (more so compared some other makes). Toastman, RMerlin and Shibby upgrade every few weeks and you can contact them directly. I would suggest you take out a WNDR4500 and test it...

    ASUS RT-N66U USB HDD cross-linking and master file table errors

    I tested again today on NTFS..... I always make sure I go in with a clean HDD, i.e. I chkdsk it and make sure there are no errors on my pc. If I S&S&S and do an unmount I get no errors (chkdsk detects no 'problems') after subfolder and copy write events.... 3 times in a row. I tested to see...

    Asus RT-N66U + DLNA?

    @nampramos... I today received a post from RMerlin on how to address the cross-linking issue. He finally made the suggestion to do the following before switching off or umounting HDD: Type following URL in new tab/window in Chrome/IE/etc....(depending on gateway IP used for the router) (... or...

    ASUS RT-N66U USB HDD cross-linking and master file table errors

    RMerlin for knighthood @RMerlin.... firstly, I did check the whole default 512 vs 1k sector size thing last week. It made no difference. Secondly, I did check the ext3 format as well, using Ubuntu and it made no difference either. I prefer to stay with NTFS or FAT32 because my home theatre...

    ASUS RT-N66U USB HDD cross-linking and master file table errors

    @RMerlin...thanks, I'll give it a try... can I use the http://192.168.1.1/Main_AdmStatus_Content.asp route instead of finding some telnet agent? Just a comment... the whole idea of unmounting your drive before switching off the router doesn't hold when you live in an area where we experience...

    Asus RT-N66U + DLNA?

    @ rtuser... follow my thread..... Most recent post is more interesting as I returned unit for a new one and compared RT-N66U with Netgear WNDR4500....@nampramos, something you might want to check out....WNDR4500 rock solid on SAMBA server but dodgy on DLNA.... The new unit didn't repeat exact...

    ASUS RT-N66U USB HDD cross-linking and master file table errors

    Long post but ends with question @ last 3 replies, RMerlin and piotrpiano.... It was coincidence that I went back to the store yesterday to return my unit for a new one thinking that my problem may be unit specific. Jeremy from ASUS actually emailed late yesterday suggesting same thing. So I...

    Asus RT-N66U + DLNA?

    @xrecar.... then it means I have a Toshiba 500 GB, a newish Samsung 500 GB, a 4 GB and 8 GB Kingston flash all failing at the same time, especially when they work perfectly on my pc's. There have been two other cases where people had the same problem (see my thread as mentioned earlier). Have...

    Asus RT-N66U + DLNA?

    @lazik.. as I mentioned, follow my thread here. There is no problem with DLNA in ASUS fw or Toastman either. The problem is the SAMBA server. So, if you use SAMBA to manage files on the HDD you will corrupt the files. Once the files are corrupted DLNA will get stuck at the corrupted files...

    Asus RT-N66U + DLNA?

    Beware!! Dude, follow my thread here . I also bought the router for its DLNA and file sharing capability. I have been quite upbeat as I've been waiting a few years for this technology to be mature. I want a central external drive with some multimedia which I can access reliably from a...

    ASUS RT-N66U USB HDD cross-linking and master file table errors

    @MoogLe (above), I feel exactly the same way you do but unfortunately yourself, 2000Wolf and myself are the only ones here reporting this issue. Great router otherwise :) and I really would like to keep it. I've been in contact with Jeremy, the ASUS representative who also has his own thread...

    ASUS RT-N66U USB HDD cross-linking and master file table errors

    EXTended return..not over until FAT lady sings I've scheduled the return of my unit later in the week but thought I'd try the ext3 thing as proposed by RMerlin as well. I installed Ubuntu in VMware on my Win7 machine. Quite impressed with the VMware setup btw... worked flawlessly. I...

    ASUS RT-N66U USB HDD cross-linking and master file table errors

    Thanks for this... (just been told by ASUS to reflash my unit in recovery mode and if that doesn't help, I can return the unit to the retailer. Well, that is how I got my _112 firmware on after having Tomato Toastman installed which corrupted my drives as well).... How do I now format my hard...

    ASUS RT-N66U USB HDD cross-linking and master file table errors

    ... No, I haven't, but I'm not interested in ext2 as I want to be able to have access to the hard drive via pc as well, unless there is some convenient workaround using mounting software. Do you have any suggestions?
