    USB 2.0 vs USB 3.0 on RT-AC68U

    Overall, I am glad that I purchased the Asus RT-AC68U router. It has proven to be a reliable and powerful router. I'm sure that in time, a firmware will be made available that will address the issues with the USB3.0 immaturity. If not, then it will still be an above average router with 'some'...

    USB 2.0 vs USB 3.0 on RT-AC68U

    It is a powered 3.5 inch USB3.0 enclosure. Startech SAT3510BU3 (with fan) Sata I, II, III (4TB max) USB2.0 works great with this drive and enclosure. USB3.0 is a waste of energy and time as it simply does not perform as it should. This same drive and enclosure works with every computer...

    USB 2.0 vs USB 3.0 on RT-AC68U

    Thanks I did try that and was not able to communicate with my drive. After installing it and rebooting, I was able to see the drive, but that was it. Windows Explorer showed an icon with a question-mark on it for the drive. Since I want to be be able to sync files to this drive from my...

    USB 2.0 vs USB 3.0 on RT-AC68U

    I spent an entire day formatting and reformatting my 4TB HDD. Getting it into ext3 was not so bad. Getting it accessible through Windows 7 was impossible! Guess I'll stick with the USB2.0 until someone gets this feature to actually work reliably. Thank you for your advise - I learned a lot...

    USB 2.0 vs USB 3.0 on RT-AC68U

    Well, the USB3.0 connected drive sometimes mounts and sometimes doesn't. It has become the norm to reboot the router several times to get the drive to mount. Once mounted, it will operate fine for several hours and then unmount once again. I have become so frustrated with it that I have...

    USB 2.0 vs USB 3.0 on RT-AC68U

    I don't know what you included in the Merlin's firmware 3.0.0.4.374.41.0 but ALL of my equipment works like it is supposed to! My 4Tb drive connects and runs without issue. Of course, I did a factory reset after updating the firmware and reset everything fresh. Then, a hard reboot of the...

    USB 2.0 vs USB 3.0 on RT-AC68U

    The cable that came with the Startech enclosure is very well made and is properly shielded at each end. However; the enclosure states that it is SuperSpeed USB3.0 (5Gbps), and the Asus RT-AC68U does not. Further, the SuperSpeed USB3.0 is reported to be backwards compatible to USB2.0. (You'd...

    USB 2.0 vs USB 3.0 on RT-AC68U

    I already have that option disabled. This was something that came up a lot while I was researching this issue, so I disabled it. What else may be causing the issue?

    USB 2.0 vs USB 3.0 on RT-AC68U

    Let me start by saying that I am not well experienced with networking technology. I am learning as I go by searching, reading, searching and reading some more. I am currently using RT-AC68u router with Merlin's firmware: "RT-AC68U_3.0.0.4_374.41_beta1" (Disabled Reducing USB 3.0 Interference)...
