    R7000 Firmware Version 1.0.11.100

    I gave up on my R7000. I use the DLNA support, and they dropped it. That and the 'crap' f/w they were putting out really left me no choice to move on. I didn't want to stay on old f/w for DLNA and forgo any security fixes. I did get a TP-Link A20 as a replacement. Has a few quirks, but...

    Buying advice: NAS or external USB drive for media storage server?

    I bought and returned this month a 2TB Seagate Central. Had it connected to a Netgear R7000 Nighthawk. The Netgear might have caused some of the problems I admit, but the killer was that it basically disabled the Internet connection to my Samsung Smart TV! One of the reasons I bought the...

    Padavan's Custom Firmware

    Exactly. I should be faster. Actually, this is the fastest it has been. Had be 11 or 12MBps before. Running RT-N56U_3.0.3.5-055_full. Nothing running other them the Media Server and FTP Server, and of course the Network Share. Nothing is 'operating', not even a browser. I've got a 60+Mbps...

    Padavan's Custom Firmware

    Arul, this is a hardwired 1GB connection, not wireless. I'm only getting 100Mbps or so, 1/10th the max. speed capable. When I had the USB attached to the computer via USB 2.0, I think I saw twice that speed. I think 60MBps or 480Mbps is the max., so I'm not near that. I am in the US so that...

    Padavan's Custom Firmware

    Well, the router s/w only allows 1536 or up to 16000 in size? Did find this, http://forum.grasscity.com/silicon-v-alley/764486-definitive-guide-gigabit-jumbo-frames.html, and reading it I might not be able to even get them. My wife's system uses a Linksys 2500A USB (I think?) and it doesn't...

    Padavan's Custom Firmware

    This morning I updated to the 4-055 flash and plugged the USB in, it did NOT drop the Internet connection? I've not gone to EXT3 yet but I was prepared if this should have failed on plugging in. I'm REALLY curious about the speed you get? The BEST I've seen is 14.2MBps with lows around 8MBps...

    Padavan's Custom Firmware

    Thanks for the reply. I'm on W8 x64 with the USB drive attached to it. What is the best way to do this, no, I don't mean moving the data off of the USB, but FORMATTING the USB to EXT3. From what I see it should be PARTED, and I've also got PUPPY LINUX. I assume with either it would be clear...

    Padavan's Custom Firmware

    USB MiniDLNA problem? I've opened up on the Padavan site problem report #816 ========== What steps will reproduce the problem? If the router is plugged in, stopping it, the USB Drive (REMOVE) and taking it out and then replugging stops the router WAN internet connection. If the USB...

    ASUS RT-N56U and streaming

    What tablet? I use an iPad and can stream using the Media Server via the Padavan or ASUS firmware. Need to use a Media Client, like AirAV or ACEPlayer. One also has FTP capability in it. Both work fine. Irv S.

    Padavan's Custom Firmware

    I was on RT-N56U_3.0.3.3-042 (en-ru). IPv6+IPv4. Linux kernel 3.0.61, and I moved files from my PC to the USB drive attached to the ASUS to be viewed with the Media Server. Files ARE NOT THERE, although the copy DID complete? In report #709 another person was complaining the catalog did not nor...

    Padavan's Custom Firmware

    Well I decide to put on the latest ASUS flash from their site. Lo and behold the Media Server is working fine? Don't understand why switching between 2 Padavan .027 flashes wouldn't 'reset' something if need be? Wonder if there was a USB DRIVE problem it couldn't handle? I did try deleting...

    Padavan's Custom Firmware

    Lost Media Server yesterday on .027 firmware I opened Issue 676: Lost Media Server .027 full version today on the Padavan site (https://code.google.com/p/rt-n56u/issues/detail?id=676&sort=-id). Yesterday it was working and I was viewing files on my iPad. Connection was lost. I can NOT see...

    Padavan's Custom Firmware

    USB drive gets messed up on W8??? I've got the latest RT-N56U released (not deprecated) version, .027 Full and I'm running W8 and use a Windows Explorer replacement, Explorer++. I have a 1TB USB 2.0 Western Digital drive attached to slot 1 on the router. Media is enabled for Network Share with...

    Padavan's Custom Firmware

    RTN, Where did you get that link from? Main project page doesn't show that link nor the first 4 files? The main Project page is at https://code.google.com/p/rt-n56u/, and the DOWNLOAD links are at https://code.google.com/p/rt-n56u/downloads/list with the last files posted on Nov. 27th...

    Router name

    Hmm, can't see any setting for that and mine is 'RT-N56U'? Could a different flash BIOS have set this for you?
