Nope, nope, you did your best. I new about the formats, but forgot the drive was exFAT! That was my mea culpa. Nevertheless, on to meliora!

I guess that depends on what “too little information” means. What was given was enough to elicit the correct answer, thank you Jeffrey. Through context, you could see that I was talking about my case, thus the ”none of that applied”. Although, I confess, I have no idea why the type of files...

Thank you @L&LD, but none of that applied. Haven’t had good experiences with Synology. Asus has worked great for me. Firmware is latest and the rest of those suggestions didn’t have any bearing on whether the drive would mount or not. Don’t need an external power supply with this setup and...

I know that didn’t help at all, but I seem to be eternally cursed never to find whatever I‘m searching for! Look, I have an RT-AC86U, all I want to do is add an external hdd to it. When I plug the usb drive in, it shows in the router gui, but shows as “unmounted”. How do I mount the thing...

Just updated to the latest firmware (RT-AC86u). In parental controls-time scheduling, on the left of the mac address chosen, there's a drop down with three choices: disable time block What's the difference between disable and block?

Is there a post or write up on seting up a VPN for the 86u? I searched and went through 5 pages, but couldn’t find anything. I’ve never done it before. If you can point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.

The 20648 update did the trick. I had 20647.

I’m at a loss. I have searched about as much as I can. I am running the latest stock firmware. I toggled “traffic analyzer” on, but it does nothing. Traffic Monitor works fine. I searched and found that “NAT Accleration/HW Acceleration” was the problem, but I found neither of those in the...

I have had this ac86u for about 3 weeks now. It replaced an n66u. No problems until this morning. I logged in to change some parental controls and the gui logged me out. Gave me the screen telling of changes and I will be disconnected and need to reconnect. I tried refreshing, but couldn’t...

I guess I have no hope then. My 2.4 drops out several times a day. It is usually for less than a minute. I have followed everything I have found: 1) use 20/40 2) use just 20 3) use auto channel 4) don't use auto channel 5) use stock 6) use Merlin 7) try new power supply 8) try new cat7 cable 9)...

Appreciate it. Thanks for the help.

I have been searching for an hour and can't find the answer. I thought this would be a simple search. I am upgrading to Merlin v65. All I want to do is: 1) See what is in the present jffs partition. What Unix command do I use? 2) Backup that partition so I can restore it after the upgrade...

There's the rub, and although I thank you for your suggestions, we are coming at it from 2 different directions. You are speaking from a Merlin perspective, but I said in my initial post that I am using stock firmware. Stock does not have that option. I have used Merlin's in the past, but...

The DNS filter is designed to filter sites, not prevent someone from circumventing the router defined DNS by changing the DNS on a client device (i.e My router specifies 208.67.222.222 which is OpenDNS. But, I can change the DNS entry on my Macbook Pro to 8.8.8.8 and completely bypass OpenDNS)...
