E4200 usb storage cifs support?

does e4200 have cifs support. I ask because I have a hard drive connected thru the usb and trying to setup nas storage. But for the hp touchpad to mount it it needs cifs I guess. 

Yes E4200 does support CIFS (Common Internet File System) for the storage Hard Drive…Here is the link for the external USB storage devices tested to work with the router, along with their disk storage formats.

  • E4200 - USB Storage limit of 2TB

    Does anyone know if Linksys will be increasing the size limitation of the E4200 USB storage devices?
    Will the next firmware allow larger drive sizes?
     I only bought the thing to share via the router my digital content that is stored on an 8TB external device.
    What is the perpose to the limit in the first place?  Is this a hardware or software limitation of the device?
    Any answers would be appreciated.  I love the router, I just hate limitations...go figure.
    Thanks.
    ~:TLH:~

    What is the firmware version on the router? As there is a new release of the firmware which adds the supports of 3TB Hard drive with NTFS and HFS+ format.
    As well as here is the list of tested USB storage devices for the Linksys E4200

  • E4200 USB Storage Issue - Connection drops / router hangs

    I'm having issues with maintaining a reliable connection to the USB drive connected to my new E4200.  Here are the situation:
    (1)  I can successfully share the drive and map it from any computer on the network as expected
    (2)  After mapping the drive, I try to copy files/folder to the mapped drive.  It starts off ok, but within a few seconds/minutes, I'll begin getting the message "the specified network name is no longer available".  The drive status will show "disconntected" or "reconnecting"
    (3)  When this happens, the router will often stop accepting new connections (i.e. the DHCP function stops working).  However, some of the computer that are connected continue to work / have internet access.
    (4)  Restarting the router (i.e. pulling the power and plugging it back in) gets things working again.  Things are good until I try to map the drive and begin copying files again.
    Here's some other parameter info:
    (a)  I'm running the latest (only) firmware available: 1.0.00 build 13
    (b)  Per Linksys support, I've reflashed the firmware.  Didn't make any difference
    (c)  I'm working in a wired environment (this is not a wirelss issue...although it happens via wireless the same way)
    (d)  I'm running Win XP SP3 (have also tried on Vista HE 64...same results)
    (e)  The USB disk is a Seagate FreeAgent 1.5 TB (which is on the list of compatible devices for this router)
    (f)  I do most of my work at the command line with NET USE commands.  The files are being copied via ROBOCOPY and or XCOPY.  Just basic scripting.  Note:  I get the same results if I use Windows Explorer to map/copy files.
    (g)  I've validated the Seagate drive is not the issue by plugging in the the computer and using it for several days.  Have had no issues copying files to it  It's formatted as NTFS.  Chkdsk and SeaTools show no issues with the drive.
    (h)  I am copying large volumes of data (i.e. entire folders of movies, backups of "USERS" folder, etc.).  
    (i)  It's not any one paritcular file or folder this issue occurs on.  It will make a little progress, then flake out.  Upon restarting, it will make a little more, then flake out, etc.
    (j)  Just to be safe, I turned off the sleep mode/spin down option on the FreeAgent drive to ensue that wasn't the problem.
    (k)  I haven't made any elaborate router settings (haven't changed many defaults).  Haven't turned on FTP, Media Server functions, etc.  I've just done some basic things like (1) change the ssid (2) set up some DHCP reservations (3) changed the security to WPA2 (4)  changed admin password (5) set up port forwarding for two apps.  I've not created any policies, turned on guest accounts, enabled logging, etc.
    (l)  I am doing all of the above with an admin account (on the router, I created an admin user acccount for myself).  I've been careful to always map the drive with that userid/password.
    Is anyone else having reliability issues with access to thier attached USB storage.  I was very hopeful that the storage attached to the router would be readily available.  I'm not expecting or needing great performance, but do need it to be "always on" for the purposes of sharing files and executing backups.  Eventually, I would like to use some of the other features of the router (streaming video the PS3 and external FTP access for example).  However, for now, I just want the attached storage to work.
    Thanks in advance for your advice.

    oops, well now i see your full question. i asked you some ?s in the other thread you posted in.. but they seemed to be answered here..
    ok, solely speaking about this E42 router, i have had it for 2 weeks now and i had a buffalo 500gb drive on the usb port. i had all sorts of junk on the drive..just random files, etc, and the ones that were supported by the PS3 would stream fine form the drive. i even have a sony BD player (s770) and its able to see the files and drive and stream. the PS3 is wired and the BD player is wireless. i have a laptop (wireless) and it has the same results.
    last night i purchased a seagate go flex 2TB and plan to ONLY put media type files on this drive and try and clean things up and stop being lazy.. so far i have transferred a FEW small video and audio files from a wired computer with zero issues.
    now let me ask, when you are transferring these huge files, are you like copying a folder and pasting it onto the mapped seagate drive? or are you doing individual files, etc? i dont have a folder with a bunch of GBs of files but i will try and see if i can reproduce the problem you see.
    however thus far with the few small media files i have transferred on this new go flex 2TB drive, they have all transferred over. im talking about a couple GBs worth -ish...

  • E4200 - USB Storage with Media server

    Pros: Decent basic router
    Cons: Advanced features don't work, not worth the price, poor support, critical forum posts deleted
    Other Thoughts: The Linksys e4200 is supposed to be a high-end router, with media server capabilities. It is NOT. The media server feature does not work and has not worked correctly since product release. Linksys keeps promising a fix, but customers are still waiting. Support forum members have been pressing the company for a solution, but Linksys merely deletes critical post from the forums. This is apparently their idea of how to "fix" the problem.
    There are certain features that make a router a high-end purchase. If usb storage with media server capability is one of the features you are looking for, you should avoid this product.

    Hi,
    USB HDD uto 1 TB with file system NTFS ot FAT32 works just fine, if any issues try taking up the back up for the data already present on the HDD and then try to format the HDD using the router''s formatting tool available under set up page - Storage...
    Please share your issues faced with the same....

  • E4200 usb storage extremely slow over wireless

    Hi,
      I get about only 500 KB/s for accessing files (as a network drive), regardless of the size of the file (even full 4GB iso)
    If I watch a video via media server however I get around 3MB/s.
    This is very strange and I cannot locate the issue.
    My firmware is currently on 1.00 and I am not upgrading due to the notorious media server problem.
    Has anyone else encounter this before?
    Cheers

    If the concern is with the wireless connection then do the following changes...
    You can use same wireless network name or even you can use different network name...
    For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
    For Channel Settings of 5 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 40 or 161...
    Then click on Security tab disable SPI Firewall Protection, uncheck Filter Anonymous Internet Requests...
    If there is any anti-virus or firewall disable them all as well...
    And then check connectivity...

  • What USB storage devices have a block size of 512 bytes?

    After pulling my hair out for weeks trying to get a usb hard drive to work with my new AirPort Extreme (802.11n), I ran across this
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305038
    AirPort Extreme (802.11n): USB storage device supported formats and protocols
    You can connect USB-based storage devices to an AirPort Extreme (802.11n). Learn which formats and protocols are supported.
    The AirPort Extreme (802.11n) supports USB storage devices that have a block size of 512 bytes, and are formatted as Mac OS Extended (HFS-plus), FAT16, or FAT32. Not all USB storage devices use a block size of 512 bytes.
    The AirPort Extreme (802.11n) shares storage devices based on the format used to initialize the storage device. For example, if HFS-plus formatting was used, AFP and SMB/CIFS protocols are used to share the device on the network. If FAT16 or FAT32 was used, SMB/CIFS protocols are used.
    The AirPort Extreme (802.11n) works with disks that have a single partition and are not software RAID volumes (no more than one volume per physical disk). If the disk is a self-contained RAID that presents itself to a computer as a single volume requiring no software support, then it is supported.
    Note: Use AirPort Disk Utility to discover and mount AirPort Extreme-based volumes over the network.
    Now, this information is not easily obtainable while
    shopping for a new usb hard drive. How do I find out which
    ones support this 512 byte block size????
    Would have bee nice to know that not all usb hard drives
    are supported by the AirPort Extreme (802.11n) before I
    purchased it.
    Thanks

    You might want to make sure your credit card is listed in the billing information associated with your Apple ID (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918).
    Also, to change the From name that appears when you address emails on and iOS device, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your iCloud email account, tap you iCloud account at the top, tap Mail at the bottom, then enter the name you want to use in the Name field at the top.
    To change the From name on your Mac Mail, go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done.  Then quit Mail on your Mac and re-open it.  Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.

  • USB storage with WRT610N....help!

    After spending 4 hours (no exageration) with Linksys Level 2 tech support I am at my wits end....
    I just purchased a WRT610N and want to use the USB storage feature to backup my primary desktop.  Here's the specifics:
    Desktop is an older Dell XPS runnings XP SP3.  Desktop has three logons....for myself and my kids.
    I'd also like each desktop logon to be able to access the router USB storage feature so that we have a common place for pictures, etc.
    I have an office laptop and I would like this to access the storage device
    Eventually I will be adding more computers to the network for my kids.
    I'm also interested in using the FTP access to get to the files on the storage device when I am away from home.
    Through 3 separate tech support calls, each tech tried a different approach to get this to work.  Nothing worked.  I want to start from scratch....  What is the best way to accomplish what I want to do?  After suffering through the pain, is the WRT610N a good solution or should I return it to Amazon and do this some other way?
    A final note, tech support did upgrade the WRT610N's firmware to 1.00.00.18.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    The harsh reality is that the results for people trying to use the Storage Link function have been mixed, at best.  Especially in trying to utilize it for a "backuP' function.  The kernel used to manage the Storage Link is apparently unix/linux based, and has some difficulty playing nice with Windows based backup utilities.  Additionally, there have been reports that the connectivity to the attached devices is, at times, poor.  Finally, there are issues with file corruption (date/time stamps, specifically).  There have been no firmware updates to deal with these issues.  If your primary need is for an attached NAS solution, I would strongly recommend looking at other devices for that solution.

  • I am trying to add music to my computer and then put it on a usb storage device

    ok i havent used a computer in a very long time and the last time i did things seemed a whole lot easier.  i got a new laptop for valentines day and i still aint figured this thing out. what i am trying to do is add all my music cds to my computer, make some playlists, then download the music to a usb storage device so i can have the music in my truck.

    thank you in advance

    Hi,
             The below link shows how to create playlist in Itunes.  Once the playlist is created, if you are using apple Ipod or any other apple product. Then once you connect the device it will start the sync with the device and then you can start playing.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12340
    If you are using another device, then please do mention the device to which you want to sync the music and which player are using on the system.

  • My Pro freezes when I connect USB storage

    ok so for about a month and a half now, sometimes when I connect a USB storage device, my MBP (13 inch, from the most recent early 2011 line) will freeze. if there's an animation ont he screen, like the time machine symbol, it will keep going, but no response from keyboard or trackpad. at first it happened with a new cheap USB flash stick, so I thought it was that. but since then, once in a while it happens with my time machine USB hard drive, my android phone, and a different USB stick, none of which have had this problem before on anything, including my earlier Macbook from 2008. ideas/causes? this guy seems to have a similar problem: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15088832#15088832

  • WRT600N USB Storage Problems Solved

    For a couple of years, I've been living with all the problems others have reported with the WRT600N USB storage - lost connections, permissions problems, rebooting the router to recover access to the USB drive, etc. I solved my problems, mostly, by switching to a DLink DIR-655 router. I assume other routers in the Dlink family that support USB devices will perform similarly.
    My main problem seemed to be interference from the microwave, which is in an open kitchen/keeping room arrangement in my house. However, the bottom line is that any time I lost wireless connectivity to the router, due to the microwave or unknown causes, I'd lose access to the USB drive. This meant a trip upstairs to power cycle the router and the USB drive several times a day.
    With the Dlink, I still sometimes lose wireless connectivity due to the microwave or unknown causes, but not as often. Sometimes, but not always, this will cause me to lose the USB drive access. If I do need to reboot the router, I can do so from the web based interface, something that was not possible with the WRT600N, so no more trips upstairs to perform this operation. I also find have a stronger wireless signal in my work location with the Dlink.
    Dlink uses a SharePort software utility to manage the USB connection and this has to be installed on all PC's that want access to the USB device. SharePort makes a USB device appear to be a local device attached directly to the computer you're using and you can attach external drives/printers/probably USB hubs. (I've experimented only with an external USB drive.) Because of this, however, only one computer can attach to the USB device at a time - not a problem for me, but you need to be aware. The software has a mechanism for requesting access to the USB device from one computer, when the device is in use by another computers. You can also set it to automatically connect to the USB device if its available, to try a reconnect if connection is lost, and to automatically run a program when the USB device connects. Dlink says SharePort will support FAT or NTFS formatted drives and there's no known limitation on the drive size.
    Dlink support doesn't seem much better than here - it took about three weeks for me to get an answer on the external drive size and formatting options. There are plenty of complaints on the Dlink support site about poor support, poor performance of SharePort, etc.  So, all I can say is their router/USB device sharing has worked much better for me than my Linksys WRT600N ever worked.

    Welcome to the WRT600N nightmare. The Storage Link is poorly documented, and the firmware controlling it has issues. Basically, it will corrupt file date/times stamps whenever you copy files onto the attached drive. It has also been known to be a bit flaky about maintaining the drive as a connected/mapped drive. Backup programs may have difficulty accessing the drive via Storage Link. Depending on the file format you use, you may encounter file size limitations on the Storage Link drive.
    I, personally, gave up after a few days of these issues mentioned above and bought extra USB hard drives for each computer in the house rather than try and use the Storage Link as a NAS.
    What O/S are you using on your computer? I can try and walk you through the setup.

  • Cypress - Other hardware - Cypress At2 USB Storage Adapter

    I have a USB Disk Enclosure that was working with Windows 8.1.  I recently installed a Windows Update optional update titled "Cypress -
    Other hardware - Cypress
    At2 USB Storage Adapter" and the next time I attempted to use the disk enclosure, it did not work.  When I connect the device the system makes a sound like it recognizes a device and the
    Device Manager display gets redrawn (refreshes), but no device shows up in Device Manager, Disk Manager or Safely Remove
    Hardware and Eject Media.  I have booted, also without helping the situation.  I am thinking that I should remove the update, but the "Uninstall and update" panel does not list and update title that matches the above.
    Update #1:  I found the same issue from two others on another MS forum that was posted yesterday: answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_update/crypress-a2b-usb-driver-update/96765e04-7f4a-42fb-bf37-ca98fa8fc0cc?rtAction=1395927639282
    I have had MS Support remoted into my system all morning and am being told they want $99 to run their tools to fix the problem.
    Update #2:  After hours chatting w/MS Support, no progress.  They ran lots of virus scans and repair procedures.  I did make the following observation.  When the USB Drive is connected, the system recognized something and chimes as described
    above.  What actually changes is that a "Cypress AT2 USB Storage Adapter" devices appears in the "Universal Serial Bus controllers" tree of Device Manager.  When the drive is unplugged, this device disappears.  Before the
    Win Update that I suspect caused the problem, the drive would appear as a drive also.  Note that the original behavior had the device appear as a disk, not as a removable device like a flash drive.  So Windows is recognizing the storage controller,
    but not presenting the attached disk as a drive in windows.  Oh well, back to the MS Support Chat......
    Update #3: I contacted MS Support a second time and pointed them at the “Cypress AT2 USB Storage Adapter”
    that appeared when the USB Enclosure was plugged in.  They poked around for a while and finally “Uninstalled” the device driver and had me unplg/plug the drive and BANG, the drive appeared. 
    I don’t know if it was the 5+ hours of work the first support person did or if that was the solution all along, but the drive works now. 
    Oh and one more thing, as I was completing the survey for the support, with not good ratings I might say, the remote control connected support person booted my computer right out from under me without a word of warning. 
    I guess there is more than one way to keep survey ratings high.

    Same problem. To solve you have to uninstall "Cypress At2 USB Storage Adapter"
    removing driver files with the option suggested by the dialog box of device manager. (I'm sorry i can't use the correct words because I own the italian version)
    After that, when you connect the drive, il will correctly mount the volume and do not appear Cypress device anymore.

  • Is writing to flash drive always in "mass USB storage mode"?

    I am trying to display JPEGs on my HDTV using a MEDIAGATE M2TV 1080P Media Player. I have written JPEG files to a flash drive and connected the flash drive to the M2TV Player, which doesn't recognize the USB flash drive. The M2TV manual says that only "mass USB storage mode is supported". Are there different modes of storage? What do I get from my mini? Also I assume that my file system is HFS+. Correct? Thanks for any help.
    Owen

    Mediagate are the people to ask if things aren't working. The questions should be about the partition table (Apple has a couple) of your flash drive (possibly the brand) and the format. (In-camera flash storage has, as you read in the Wikipedia, it's own, unique partition table.) Flash drives probably come from the box with no partition table, but only one partition (volume) formatted in FAT32. This default is rarely changed by people; so that should have worked.
    The question is how to transfer your JPEG photos from a Mac hard drive to a flash drive. Only now is it occurring to me that they may just mean their box captures JPEG files and transfers then to your Mac's USB port in USB MSC protocol, not USB PTP.
    My ignorance may have confused the issue more. I last studied JPEG when it was released . There was room in the file for EXIF data. However, I doubt they anticipated GPS data and more, which Macs could interpret as metadata (as they do 'keywords'), and require USB PTP protocol to transfer. Well, this is wrong.
    I borrowed a JPEG photo with a huge EXIF file, containing GPS data, and changed the suffix to .TXT, opened it in TextEdit, saved it, and dragged this non-photo file (using, presumably, USB MSC protocol) to a flash drive formatted HFS. I then changed the suffix to .JPG and opened it with the Finder. Its size hadn't changed, and its EXIF data hadn't changed. So, PTP is a mystery to me: I don't know what advantages it offers, though I choose it on cameras. Perhaps Mediagate can explain it, since it's the preferred protocol for transferring photos.
    If you really need to copy a photo to a flash drive in USB MSC protocol, you can always change the suffix to .TXT and back. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can help. (I'm unfamiliar with your device.)
    Best of luck.
