I'll just shuck it and invest in a proper NAS for RAID 0 later on once I have a new computer and my own place. I don't really have much important data to store. I guess my anime and photos are important but they're not that important lol. Thanks for your help guys!

I wonder if Merlin removed those limits. The router formatted it no problem and is showing 13038.507GB free space right now. How would I create multiple partitions and use it with the router? Or do I just create the partitions in Windows?

Wait so you're saying my router won't be able to handle the 14TB drive? I won't completely fill it up, but I got the drive on sale so I figured why not give it a try? I have only about 2TB worth of movies and anime. Also the files won't be accessed more than a few times a month. If this doesn't...

Western Digital 14TB in an external enclosure.

I just want to store and play anime off the NAS. My plan was to have my family and I be able to access the drive like we do in Windows by just clicking the folders and opening the files accordingly. As per ASUS and YouTube instructions, the drive is formatted in NTFS.

Can someone guide me on how to set up a secure NAS within my LAN on my ASUS AC66U B1? I plugged in the external via USB 3.0 and have Network Place (Samba) Share / Cloud Disk enabled with guest login disabled. The router warns not to have guest login enabled but if I leave it disabled, when I...

First, I understand one is literally twice the price of the other. I'm looking for something that can last me about 6 years. I'm currently still using the ASUS RT-N66U and while it's still running strong, I think it's time to get something a bit better. We're not heavy users but as we get more...

One thing I enjoyed having on DD-WRT was a daily and monthly usage tracker so that I can see how much usage was used for that day or that month. Does Merlin or stock ASUS firmware have a similar function? Internet is capped here in Canada and I prefer to track the daily and monthly usage through...

I'm back on the RT-N66U firmware and latest CFE now. Is there a way to test whether or not it is functioning the way it should be?

I've done that before a couple months ago but it's been iffy ever since. It's like there are traces of stuff remaining so it's not running nicely. The DD-WRT Wiki is outdated too so when I recovered it just now, well it wasn't fun. Could it be a CFE problem? I see that my CFE is possibly old...

I have a ASUS RT-N66U and I went from stock to DD-WRT to Merlin's 3.0.0.4_376.47_0. Ever since I installed DD-WRT, the router has been behaving weirdly and it feels worse than a cheap $30 router at times. Tried to upgrade to 3.0.0.4_376.49_5 and I got a soft brick where I can only access the...
