Rmerlin, I know people always complain about their HDDs not showing up without a reboot. I am not sure if it was solved or not. mine has basically always required a reboot from the gui if i reset the router by unplugging it. Then my HDD would finally show up. Today by chance i reboot the...

i have never rented a modem and never had any ill effects. I have had issues where comcast improperly sets up my modem credentials on their ends. It only led to decreased speeds not random reboots. I have seen random reboots occur because of the splitter issue described in the above posts. No...

it could be a thousand things. the dns server being used. poor internet connection (even if it shows it is working fine after the internet can just drop for one sec and you will lose your xbox connection). some firewall setting in the router. if you are running torrents that are clogging the...

don't think there is a difference but i could be wrong.

it is useful if you want only certain people on your LAN to be able to access the drive. if you are not worried about that then it is not a big deal. that is up to you.

look on the internet. format it through a computer not through the router. much easier. there are many free tools out there to format the drive. if you are using windows and you format to ext3 then you will want to download paragon extfs for windows if you want to access the hd from a windows...

did you even read what he was responding to. he never said they have "any control over their sales in other countries. if you are going to call someone out especially the dev of the FW then take the time to read... and actually be accurate in what you say. Merlin basically said apples are red...

isn't it possible that Asus rolled out this location lock stuff in this FW are realizing that other people in other countries are being affected and then release a fix for it. I mean development takes time. It's logical to think that this issue is just in the 2nd or third tier category for...

i know a few FWs ago there were many issues with network mapping a HD and it showing up and a whole plethora of other issues. so are you on the most recent FW for n66? if not, update. if so, i think you may be able to manually map the drive on your computer. the instructions are out there...

if you buy it, they will sell it. I'd sell you a router for $200 that didn't even broadcast wifi if you would buy it. merica half joking but complaining on these forums doesn't do any good. complain to asus, don't buy their router in the future, move to US, or come up with a fix on your own...

i have master browser enabled but not the WINS server. I wasn't sure what either were but I enabled master browser at some point so i kept my settings that way. Can you let me know the purpose and benefits of enabling the WINS server and the master browser. Everything works fine without it so I...

i was under the impression that a factory reset clears the nvram. i understand you can manually clear nvram, but doesn't a factory reset clear it as well?

might as well point out that QOS will most likely not affect gaming at all. Gaming is good or bad almost always based on your upload "speed" which qos doesn't touch from what I have read. I only have experience with halo gaming but that game only uses at most 40KB/s of upload and download...

straight ignorance in regards to class actions and lawyers but that isn't a debate (literally there is no debate) for this forum. I do understand the general public's misconception of them due to media and the general public's typical lack to perform their own research so no worries.

it is unlikely that you will ever get a speed of over 20ish if your connection rate is 75 mbps. merlin said (this is the most of my knowledge) that 50% of your connection rate would be the most you would ever achieve for your actual throughput or transfer speeds. so 20ish is reasonable for...
