RT-AX88U the Samba server software gives some random read errors
When CPU Cat6 hardwired to RT-AX88U the Samba server software gives random read errors as in the files don’t bit compare. (WiFI is untested for this.) Often if you run another file bit compare the error doesn’t show up. Sometimes a WIN10 file copy throws an unexpected error occurred, try again? With a WIN7 machine it just freezes. Tried both USB ports with two brands of flash drives, a WD hard drive and a SSD. BTW one USB drive is all metal and I bought a metal case for the SSD thinking RF interference might be the problem. USB 2.0 setting does not fix this. The drives are fine when plugged into a computer. Very large file seem to trigger this most often.
BTW RAM shows 97% or so used.

I have been through two firmware updates since and lots of testing. The following applies to a Samsung 256GB USB 3.1 Flash Bar Plus in the RJ45 side set to USB 3.0.

When doing a binary file compare of about 6GB of files to the files on a SSD in my computer I get occasional bit errors returned. The strange thing is that it only happens 7 out of 25 times. Often the next run shows no read errors on the same files. For me the suspect files are always TIFF graphic files between 44 to 60 MB in size. This also happens with another computer but does not happen when the USB flash drive is mounted in other devices.
Maybe related when the USB drive is mounted in the RT-AX88U reported memory usage goes to 74%. As the drive is used reported memory usage is in excess of 96%. It stays there even when the drive is not used for some time.

Do you have any ideas or thoughts Members? I submitted these to the ASUS team with no replies. Otherwise the Mesh systems seems to work well
