I’m on 3004.388.7 on my AX86U_Pro, and have come across an apparent bug in the Network Place share section of the WebUI. I believe (I might be wrong, this is going by my memory), it is usually the case that the main user you create when you setup the Router is the first user in the list of...

Hello folks I have been using an Asus Rt-AC86U router for several years. For me it is very important that I can access my individual SSDs and HDs on the USB3 port individually via Samba. That's why I installed the Samba_Fixer (https://github.com/dnlongen/ASUSWRT_Samba_Fixer). It ran for years...

I would like to switch to Entware's Samba v4 because I'm hoping the added support for TimeMachine with Samba 4.8 would help resolve my current TimeMachine issues. I tried setting it up, but it didn't work for me, and the instructions at OpenWrt didn't help me. I currently use two additional...

Hello everyone, I have connected a 32gb Lexar USB 3.0 flash drive (formatted to NTFS) to my Asus RT-AX82U. I appreciate it may not be the fastest option, but it's enough for me needs. However I'm having problems seeing the drive on my PC via my Windows 11 network discovery. It's instead...

just bought a RT-AC3100, updated to latest asus firmware. I have a 5tb WD portable drive attached to USB and smb share enabled, guest log in allowed. Share is working, I can read/write root folder from Windows or android client. But when I try to open a folder with about 100 folders inside it...

BACKGROUND: I love my RT-AC56R. It works well 90% of the time. Thinking I could extend its life a bit, I installed FreshTomato on it. Bad move. Way too complicated and I found that configuring a 2nd guest network would literally remove internet access from the ethernet ports. So after going down...

Recently was gifted a new external harddrive (Seagate Ultra Touch 2TB HDD) and wanted to add it to my existing samba share. Upon plugging it in it appears in the device list, but is not navigable and the content wheel is a spinning death loop. Tried the USB 2.0 an 3.0 ports, samba protocal 1, 2...

Hi everyone, I have an external SATA SSD plugged into the USB 3.0 Port on my RT-AC86U running Merlin 386.1 beta. When I try to transfer data through any protocol (tried Samba, NFS, FTP), there appears to be this strange behavior where the transfer starts full speed (~ 100MB/s, gigabit...

Hello guys, I wonder if any of you are having the same problem. 384.19 with rt-ac5300. When you enable Samba whereas on windows, you don't enable deprecated SMBv1 support, you stop seeing network devices on "My Network Places". The logic here is like this. You enable Samba and even if you don't...

Hello all. New user here. I have an Asus RT-AC3100 running Merlin's 384.18. When I go to Administration | System and try to save changes there, clicking on the Apply button fails with "This account already exists. Please enter a different name." I read somewhere that this happens if on...

I'm experiencing a strange bug in Asuswrt-Merlin 384.17. I am able to add users to the list of Samba/FTP users, each with their own passwords and access rights. However, when I change a user's password, if that password has more than a few special characters in it, for some reason, all of the...

Hello, Thanks to the excellent advice I received on the SNB Forums, I purchased an RT-AC66U_B1 and have been very happy with it. I received it two days ago and the first thing I did was flash the latest Merlin release. Currently I'm trying to set up network drive access via Samba, and I'm...

Today I was fiddling with my Orbi configuration running Voxel and wanted to reboot to make sure everything was clean. After reboot all my custom configuration started as expected, i.e. DNSCrypt, but strangely Samba went back to Voxel's default. I am confident I put the files in the right place...

Hello everyone, I've been racking my brain trying to figure out why my USB device that worked without issue with my old Nighthawk R7000 suddenly doesn't with this new router. I've configured it to have a name and is on the same workgroup. I've tried logging in with my admin account and the...

Hi all, I am trying to restrict access to router external USB storage with SAMBA active. I tried using below rules in firewall, but nothing worked Could you please provide some things to try? iptables -A FORWARD -s 172.16.0.242 -d 172.16.0.1 -p tcp --sport 137:139 -j DROP iptables -A FORWARD...

I hope people don't mind I have created a number of different posts here. I have a few different questions around Voxel's custom firmware for Orbi and in general I like short threads on specific topics so that other users can find answers easily instead of everyone posting on a giant thread. I...

Hi, Could really use some help/guidance here please. I recently purchased an RT-AC86U over the weekend and had frequent crashes (at least 2X a day). Thanks, appreciate the help in advance. Let me know if there's anything else I can provide to better assist. --- Setup: RT-AC86U = Main...

I am trying to modify /etc/smb.conf file, but it appears that the changes get overwritten from some other location. I SSH into the box, use nano to edit the file, save the changes and verify that the changes have been committed. Once I restart the samba service, the changes are no longer in the...
