    OpenWrt and/or Win 7 username/password issues

    I deleted all 3 entries, rebooted and it found the drive x1. I went to the PC and BANG, back in business. Someone tell me why that action fix the problem and why wasnthere a probelm and why it manifested itself as what it did which really had nothing to do with the probelm (as usual)??

    OpenWrt and/or Win 7 username/password issues

    sda1 is a 3TB HDD. The only other removable media is a USB flash drive, but I've never saw it listed there, but I never looked for it either. There is a Micro SD card default for the O/S as local storage. That is never removed. I'm the only "user", I just listed two for a buffer of sorts. here...

    OpenWrt and/or Win 7 username/password issues

    I was wondering about that. I did see someone else's screen shot of that and he had 2 identical entries.

    OpenWrt and/or Win 7 username/password issues

    VB1 is the name of the PC, Windows lists it that way. I have no control over that. All the entries for sda1 have guests listed as 'yes'.

    OpenWrt and/or Win 7 username/password issues

    I did, look at the attachment, I never changed the username.

    OpenWrt and/or Win 7 username/password issues

    That's the best way to summarize the problem. The Media Player is a Zidoo x10 that uses OpenWrt for the interface for the LAN, (not WAN from what I understand from others). I can access the HDD on the X10 from a Win 7 PC, but I can't login due to a username and/or password issue. I can access...

    VPN setup on a Router, PC or specific device

    True, but that wouldn't protect other devices. :(

    VPN setup on a Router, PC or specific device

    I'm thinking about getting a VPN using IPVarnish. Two selling points are it was recommended for Kodi (Media Player/Streaming, so called 'TV Boxes') and they have a guide for setting it up using dd-wrt in a Router (which I already have). I have done initial research and I'm aware that VPN's...

    Broken power button

    Good point. Best to just remove the switch, it looks like there are only 5 solder points. Of course a DMM would be a starting requirement. ;)

    Broken power button

    The other deal that gets me is I find it hard to believe that micro miniature 1.3mm OD right angle coaxial plug (a disaster on both points) isn't a huge problem. I have never seen a 'barrel' plug that small. There is plenty of room for at least one that is 3.3mm OD & above. That is still less...

    Broken power button

    I can't believe you guys are using 'band-aid' fixes (at best). Toothpicks, screws, glue, sheesh. :rolleyes: Why not just open it up and either jump the contacts on the solder side, or better yet replace the switch. You may even be able to substitute a 'toggle switch' to replace that posh...

    Ability to log web addresses within the Router

    IIRC, doesn't Asus (Broadcom) have the Ability to log website addresses made from devices other than a PC (Streaming devices and/or DVR's for example) so one could see where/when and how often connections are made? This would be using 3rd party F/W dd-wrt or on of it's derivatives. If so, this...

    Can't find Firmware Restoration Utility?!

    You set the d/l up using the PC software and it will store the file(s) there regardless of the state of the PC? I have seen more than one post stating issues (problems) with this program.

    Can't find Firmware Restoration Utility?!

    Ok, but why is that any benefit? If the PC is off, how can you store anything in it? Is this something tied to some external storage?

    Can't find Firmware Restoration Utility?!

    I kinda guessed something like that. But, what does than have to do with their Routers? :confused:
