That did the trick. I finally found it.

In my German version of Win 10 I can't find anything similar to "manage advanced sharing settings". But I will probably figure that one out tomorrow.

I see! That it is not as risky as I had thought. For me the main reason for buying this new router was that my old ASUS RT-AC52U B1 could not handle the new OpenVPN protocols when PureVPN upgraded to them. The RT-AX88U Pro can and since I changed to Asuswrt-Merlin I am very happy with it. Since...

OK. I figure I can always go back to where I was since you graciously showed me the way. Wish I had your patience…. Let me explain my reasoning and then I can find out why I am wrong. Whilst most of my flashing and so on went along as planned, I sometimes made serious mistakes, which resulted...

So, I guess my next stepp would be to uninstall entware and everything else I have installed and then somehow remove the swap file without getting into trouble in oder to try something else later. NAS is way too expensive for me and using a USB-hub is probably asking for trouble for a beginner...

Can I just eject the USB-Stick at via http://asusrouter.com/index.asp or will that have negative consequences for my router? I don't like the "could take down your router" at all...

OK, I will try my best. Do I need additional equipment for this or can I do it with what I have?

So, okay, looks like I will have to learn to do better. What is the next step I should read about or what should I do next? Sounds like this is actually worse than not having embarked on the whole project. My goal was to *reduce* risk instead of actually increasing it.

I did and I got a message in green. Unfortunately I was not quick enough for a screenshot, but I didn't much care for the HIGH RISK message.

I thought that I did. This comes up when I hit 5 and there is no option to change things. Now it seems to work, though I get a message of HIGH RISK, which is something I'd rather avoid....

I formatted it first on Windows 10 to NTFS and then I formatted it again in the router to EXT4.

What now?

Is this correct? (password & username are correct, but cut out of this image)

Thank you very much for your patience. Not like a grumpy cat at all. Apparently, what I did is not appropriate. I called the USB-stick simply "Stick1" and the config screen now looks like this: When I try to do a manual backup, I get the following error message at 18:24:14:

I have no idea how the \\192.168.100.25\ ended up there. Right now, I only have the router (192.168.100.1), the USB stick which is plugged into the router and my Windows 10 PC (192.168.100.250).
