Got a Linksys WRT1900AC over the weekend - so far so good on the network front. Easy setup & speedy connections.
The major reason I need the attached storage is play media on my Samsung smart tv. When files were shared off the old router (Netgear R6100) or from a computer, it was possible to fast forward video or enter a specific time to jump to. No such option exists for the Twonky server that seems to come with the new router. Not being able to choose a time is a dealkiller if it can't be resolved - I will have to return it and get another router if it can't be resolved.
So is it possible to edit the Twonky settings (though I don't see any such options at http://10.144.196.101:9999/). Or maybe the storage device needs different settings in the Linksys admin area?
I also see there's an 'OpenWRT' thing which is open source firmware? That sounds like it could help - and seems like another rabbithole to go down...
