    PS4 Remote Play over VPN

    Hi ColinTaylor, Many thanks for your prompt response. Yes, this is what I actually did right now, because this option also seemed to be easiest for me (and I am happy to find out that it is not a stupid idea :)). That makes sense to me and currently I also don't know how to make this...

    PS4 Remote Play over VPN

    Hi all! I have PlayStation 4 Pro at home. As you may know Sony has an app / programm named PS4 Remote Play which lets users access PS4 remotely from their laptops / PCs / Android and iOS devices. This weekend I could not connect to my PS4 using PS4 Remote Play on my laptop (being ~1000 km away...

    5GHz not visible after 380.66 update on RT-AC3200

    RMerlin, I had the same issues with Samsung Galaxy S8 (it could not see 5Ghz network). After I set my 5Ghz network "control channel" to 36 then Samsung Galaxy S8 found the 5Ghz network. The following parameters of "control channel" make 5Ghz network visible for Samsung Galaxy S8: 36, 40, 44...

    Strange USB HDD noise connected to Asus RT-AC68U

    Sfx2000, ColinTaylor, While I am sill waiting for Y type USB3 cables to be shipped to my address, I've started to research about different NAS. What do you think about Synology DS116 (https://www.synology.com/en-global/products/DS116#spec)? It is not expensive and quite fast. It has only one...

    Strange USB HDD noise connected to Asus RT-AC68U

    Sfx2000, ColinTaylor, Many thanks for your responses! I'll try Y cable USB 3 first and we'll dig into the server / NAS stuff. If I have something to share, will let you know

    Strange USB HDD noise connected to Asus RT-AC68U

    Understood. Could you please briefly explain how did you organized that mini-server over your LAN? Maybe it really makes more sense to do the same thing for me.

    Strange USB HDD noise connected to Asus RT-AC68U

    Then how do you use Transmission (or other analogous program for downloading torrents while your main PC is off)? Or you just don't use it?

    Strange USB HDD noise connected to Asus RT-AC68U

    ColinTaylor, Your HDD enclosure is powered from an electrical outlet (not a USB port), am I right? And what SMART utilities do you use to adjust the power management settings? Sfx2000 once again mentioned that it could be a power issue, i.e. the only thing I haven't tried to fix yet. In that...

    Strange USB HDD noise connected to Asus RT-AC68U

    ColinTaylor, john9527, sfx2000, To cut it short - any recommendation of a "non-clicking" (modifiable in this respect) 1TB external HDD (to be plugged into the router) is highly appreciated. Many thanks in advance! Best regards, Nikolay Kiselev

    Screenshots 4 and 5 are attached to this post. If you see, that I did something wrong at any stage and that mistake could have impacted the result of my testing - please let me know :)

    Strange USB HDD noise connected to Asus RT-AC68U

    sfx2000, ColinTaylor, john9527, To tell the truth, while googling the way to decrease the idle time to 300 seconds with help of WDIDLE3 tool I saw posts at other web-sites regarding changing the SATA Mode, removing the drive from the case and checking HDD's software. I didn't try all of the...

    Strange USB HDD noise connected to Asus RT-AC68U

    ColinTaylor, I think that your are right about the source of that "clicking" sound. "Load_Cycle_Count" value of my external USB HDD (WD My Passport) is very high (>563,455). And this value is increasing each time the HDD "clicks". I've been googling the way to decrease the idle time to 300...

    Strange USB HDD noise connected to Asus RT-AC68U

    L&LD, Unfortunately, I don't have "Y" cable for testing. However, I did the following: 1) I've plugged in another WD USB HDD into router's USB3 port (not ext3, just NTFS; no Transmission installed) (the "HDD2") - the router is accessible other the LAN (i.e. it is working) and it just keeps...

    Strange USB HDD noise connected to Asus RT-AC68U

    John9527, Yes, I already did a back up. However, I forgot to tell, that if I connect USB HDD to the desktop PC , than USB HDD stops "clicking"... First thing I thought about was USB HDD failure.
