    What kind of photo and video storage and backup system should I setup

    I've got about 0.5 tb of home photos and videos right now though I can easily see it escalate to 5 tb really quickly with 4k and 360 video which I'm about to start keeping more often. I have android (Samsung note 3 and Samsung Galaxy s7) and apple phones and windows 10 pcs. Need to be able to...

    remote backup of two usb hard drives connected to 2 asus routers

    Well, it looked like it was working and but it wasn't copying anything. I think it's either cause there's too many subfolders, only copies what's new and not already in the folder, doesn't copy stuff in subfolders, or it's just not working. Either way, guess I'll be getting another NAS...

    remote backup of two usb hard drives connected to 2 asus routers

    I travel with my laptop so I'd prefer not to have to attach an HDD to it all the time. I have a wd mybooklive that backs up to my hard drive daily and it's not too taxing. I might get another nas and then do remote backup to it if the router can't handle the load though I'm really hoping it...

    remote backup of two usb hard drives connected to 2 asus routers

    I've got 2 homes (mine and my moms) set up with an asus ac-rt66u router. Both also have a hard drive connected to a usb port on the router. The homes are on separate networks. I want all the files on my mom's hard drive to be automatically backed up to the hard drive in my home. Is there...

    any router that will allow me to attach classic printer with no drivers

    I've got a canon multipass f80 printer. I contacted canon for windows 8.1 drivers for the printer but the lastest drivers they have is for windows xp. So they tell me there's no windows 8.1 support and I won't be able to get the printer working with my laptop. Is there anyway to get my...

    airprint through router connected printer

    I've got an ancient cannon ip1800 printer connected to one of the usb ports on my asus rt-ac66u router with merlin firmware on it. Any way to get airprint working? I want my mom to be able to print directly from her ipad to the printer. The ancient printer is not airprint compatible...

    Things to do to maximize router security?

    Thanks. Turned on brute force protection - didn't realize there was that option. Used better password too. Going to have to skip RSA keys as I'm not advanced enough to know how to do that but I think I'm satisfied enough with security now.

    Things to do to maximize router security?

    What kind of things can I do with my asus rt-ac66u router to maximize security? I've forwarded port 22 cause I use sftp into my mybooklive nas and don't want to give this up. So I'm looking for methods to increase security while still being able to sftp. I was thinking maybe there was a...

    Why isn't hard disk spin down working?

    THANK YOU RMerlin for your platforms. I have no idea why asus doesn't add hard disk spin down to their routers themselves - especially with all their "aicloud" stuff they promote. I'm very thankful for all your add-ons.

    Western Digital My Net AC1300 vs Asus RT-AC68U

    It sounds like your cheap router is working fine for you so why would you buy a more expensive router? You should buy a router based on your needs. If you don't need a fancy router, don't buy it.

    Why isn't hard disk spin down working?

    I lowered the amount of idle time before shutdown and this time my hard drive did spin down. Weird. I must have activated it somehow. Problem solved. Thanks everyone.

    Why isn't hard disk spin down working?

    I have a portable Buffalo HD-PNTU3 hard drive attached to one of my asus rt-ac66u usb ports (printer attached to the other one). I went to tools/other settings and set hard disk spin down time to 3600s. Why isn't my hard drive spinning down after being idle for 1 hr? Thanks a lot...
