    AC68U with Merlin 378.51 - 52_2 , losing access to USB storage drives

    I have given up for now at using the AC68U with storage drives. I moved my drives to a mini-ITX based PC I use for my TV. However one point I noticed is that the AC68U created some secondary folders on my drive for caching image files etc. minidlna and another folder. When I went to delete...

    AC68U with Merlin 378.51 - 52_2 , losing access to USB storage drives

    For the USB 3.0 dock that you mentioned, how do the 2 mapped drives appear within the Router Share? As far as mapping to them do they appear as the normal drive names just as if they were individually mapped to the two USB ports? However it would still be nice if the AC68U actually supported...

    AC68U with Merlin 378.51 - 52_2 , losing access to USB storage drives

    As an experiment I removed the USB storage drive that was on the USB 3.0 connection, I was able to sync files to the remaining USB 2.0 drive with no issues, the CPU load was low and very manageable for at least a day. Next I removed the drive on the USB 2.0 connection and added back the drive...

    AC68U with Merlin 378.51 - 52_2 , losing access to USB storage drives

    I tried reverting back to 376.47 yesterday. All seemed to go well, however eventually the problem occurred again, but was a little different (most likely the same mechanism though). I noticed one of the 2 USB storage drives stopped responding, after looking at the AC68U status webpage I...

    AC68U with Merlin 378.51 - 52_2 , losing access to USB storage drives

    I have also seen the problem where a drive scan stops at 40% and reports errors. However if I remove the drive and connect it directly to one of my computers, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the drive or Windows Scans. Plugging it back in works for awhile, however I get the same results...

    AC68U with Merlin 378.51 - 52_2 , losing access to USB storage drives

    In my case, the drives are a single partition, it is possible the 100% CPU trigger is drive access, however at the time where I notice the 100% peg there is no active drive access. The CPU seems to spin in a loop with no apparent load.

    RT-AC68U USB 3.0 External Drive disappears

    I have the same problems. I have tried various firmware revisions, factory resets, and disabling every un-needed feature, however I still have problems accessing the drives. I have found it is much better if there is only one drive connected to my AC68U, with 2 drives connected it is pretty...

    AC68U with Merlin 378.51 - 52_2 , losing access to USB storage drives

    Today I rebooted the router then just let it sit with 2 computers using WiFi for casual internet access only. After approx. 3 hours I tried looking at the attached USB drives, I found I could no longer access them and as usual the AC68U cores were both pegged at 100%. The only way get the...

    AC68U with Merlin 378.51 - 52_2 , losing access to USB storage drives

    Actually it isn't quite the factory reset configuration. After a few lockups I turned off QOS to attempt to reduce the load.

    AC68U with Merlin 378.51 - 52_2 , losing access to USB storage drives

    I did the factory reset after the firmware upgrades. I have no media sharing running or DLNA, it is just a simple local connection pass through to two 4TB USB drives with NTFS format that are directly plugged in to the AC68U USB ports. There are only 2 users on the network, both are running...

    AC68U with Merlin 378.51 - 52_2 , losing access to USB storage drives

    I have found that the Merlin 378.5x firmware is spinning up the CPU's to peg constantly at 100% where they will not recover. It seems that any longer duration and consistent router demands such as large file transfers will trigger this effect. Once the effect is triggered and the CPU's are...
