Latest update 3.0.0.4.386_41249 USB Application Samba Issues

[drblack]

Found out another issue for the December firmware update:

My receiver can't access the shared Samba services through the USB Application. Same settings in the router, same folders, same permissions to the same user. In my network receiver, it no longer can find out the router USB application. What a disaster!

Maybe an Audio Video Receiver... AVR.

USB Application Accounts messed up RT-AC86U

I have a USB disk that I use for backups. I noticed that the account I was using no longer works for accessing the Samba (SMB) share. I can create another test account and it works fine. This isn't an SMB 1.0/Windows issue. Firmware 3.0.0.4.384.81992 RT-AC86U The way it was originally...

My solution was nvram clear.

What is a 'network receiver'?

It's a stereo amplifier with a network feature that can connect to home media center, samba etc.

Okay! An AVR with network capabilities. Got it!

Here is the update and temp solution:

Original my network receiver can connect to the home media center via Asus Samba service (I don't need to set up "media server path" in the router settings), now this original setup is not working. I made it work by setting up "media server path" and use the DLNA feature from my receiver, so I can see the media server path on my USB.

In the meanwhile, the receiver app on my iPhone can't any longer access my receiver through the home network. (it was 100% working before the firmware update)
