    Help with RT-AC68U

    I have the latest merlin build running and all seems mostly well. However, I often find that one core in the router runs at max which seriously degrades its server abilities - if i try and play a video on it over my network, it runs extremly slowly. Most often it runs perfectly, but when it...

    Local hostname

    I set this up already, but it still wont work. Says page cannot be displayed, etc. Also, timemachine just uses its own. Is there a conf file I can SSH into to edit? I cant find the timemachine directory.

    Local hostname

    Hi all, Is there a way of setting a specific hostname to the router, so if I type it in to the address bar, it sends me to the default webpage (ie. 192.168.1.1)? Also, is it possible to change the timemachine hostname from its current designation of : RT-AC68U-6278 to a more user friendly name?

    Asuswrt-Merlin 376.44 is out

    Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knows how to change the default file path for the TimeMachine backups? Currently, its set to my 2TB drive on its shared root directory. I would love to either hide these files, or put them in a specific folder tucked away safely (and neatly). Thanks all!

    Samba failures

    The 250Gb was self powered and worked well, but the 2TB external drive is externally powered via a brick. The current one in use is a WD unit with a fairly chunky USB3 cable. The other drive i bought to try was a seagate unit with the same style of proprietory usb cable. Neither worked right...

    Samba failures

    Hi all, I have the rt-ac68u running, and I have had a 250gb usb2 drive plugged in for a while and working well. Kept running out of space, so I bought a 2tb usb3 desktop drive. Unfortunately it now runs ridiculously slow. So i moved the cable to the usb2 slot and it runs much better. I...

    Samba issue

    I will change the card to a different formating (FAT32 probably) and will give that a go over the next day or two. Hopefully it is that simple! :D Thanks very much! :D

    Samba issue

    Tried a couple. The orignal one (which was the router model number) was the same unfortunatly.
