I'm thinking minimum size for the upgrade in capacity should be 10TB right now. We are pushing the 4TB limit of our backup NAS capacity (2TB per desktop) and the rate of of data increase is getting faster as time goes on... so I estimate a 2.5x increase in capacity should last at least 4+ years...

My wife and I currently store our family pictures/videos on our two separate desktops. Each desktop is setup with RAID1 for drive failure mitigation purposes. We have a 2 drive QNAP NAS box and have that setup as JBODs (no redundancy) and use it as a backup for both our desktops'...

No, I'm not adverse to running 3rd party firmware. In fact, I tried DD-WRT on it, but soon realized the 5GHz throughput maxed out around 48Mbps on my iPhone for some reason. Maybe that also has to do with the problems I'm having? But in all honesty, the ASUS stock firmware has most of the...

I tried that too, only use the 5ghz band for my iphone. Like I said, with 979, the iphone rarely even can discover the 5ghz SSID and when it does, it won't connect. And with 720 and 276, when the phone goes out of range and comes back in range, the SSID is again no longer discoverable or...

Tried .276 last night at it seems similar to .720. When I go out of range when using 5GHz, it takes an abnormally long time to reconnect to the router after I come back in range. At least it does do it automatically now, but it still not ideal. I can live with how it works, but I just can't...

You mention .726, did you mean .720? Because that is the one I'm currently using. Also, I actually have the rt-n66w, the white one... the label on the box stated HW version B1, so I'm assuming all the n66u firmware's will work fine on it. Just thought I'd bring that up to cover all bases...

I haven't tried .276 yet, I'll give it a spin tonight. And I clear NVRAM before and after flashing firmware, just in case!

Thanks for the info, I really appreciate it. I tried with and without hiding my SSID and it didn't make a difference on .979. I also tried most of the items in the troubleshooting list and no luck either. That is when I decided to downgrade to .720, which like I said seemed to fix the...

With firmware 3.0.0.4.374_979, the 5GHz band is EXTREMELY spotty with my iPhone 5. It shows up in the wireless survey in the iPhone 5 settings, but when I try to connect, about 98% of the time the iPhone gives a message saying it cannot join the network. And the few times it does join...
