No one is interested in this release?

Thank you very much. Sorry for my ignorance.

I have a AC68U and Merlin used to be fine to spin down HDD connected to USB. Now I switched to Aimesh firmware and same HDD keep spinning. Is there anyway to enable HDD spin down? Thank you.

Thanks for response. BTW, I found channels ~156 has much better range than 36/40 etc. Maybe it depends on house layout.

Did you check which channel you used? That plays very important role in my test.

So 88U has link-aggregation and 8 LAN ports. Otherwise, 86U is better.

This works for me, thanks!

I suspect the reason is extra RAM, 512MB vs 256MB. Can you elaborate what is lacking with R8000?

If you need speed bump, try to overclock the SoC.

USB 3.0 read/write speed is limited by SoC speed, so 1.4Ghz is faster than 800Mhz. The impact is 2.4Ghz signal strength, not USB read/write speed.

I need to put NAS to family room, behind the audio rack, where router is placed. I don't have LAN setup, that's why I am not keep the NAS running..... Thanksk for suggestion, I will do that, if I find anything wrong :)

I am only using it for occasional movie/music sharing, only 2-3 times a week. I think router is ok for that kind of light duty work. I have a DIY NAS with a i5 3570K CPU and that's an overkill for this kind of job. I am too lazy to upgrade the HDD's which has 5 2TB's. So it is convenient for...

The day before when I did site survey, and was surprised to find out that all my neighbor's router were gone, I thought it was due to bad weather. After 3 days router still sees nothing but 3 weak 5Ghz AP's. I am living in a house, I can see about 10 weak 2.4Ghz AP's with signal strength around...

I agree with this. When I copy/write big files with HDD attached to router, CPU usage is 100% for both cores, overclock would make the speed faster. So at least for AC68U/P, USB speed bottleneck is SoC speed.

Glad it worked out for you. Actually, I use the Seagate Dashboard, and set spin down time there directly, no need to edit the code.
