Linksys EA6900 USB Drive

I have a home network with 4 computers all running windows 7.  I have a 1 Tb drive connected to the USB 2.0 port.  Three of the four computers can consistently see/access the drive while the fourth cannot.  It doesn't matter whether I use the USB 3.0 or 2.0 port.  Actually, the connection is much less reliable using the 3.0 port - drive becomes invisible from time to time on these 3 computers.  Why can't the fourth computer (windows 7 32-bit) ever see/access this drive?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
Thanks. 

Hi cisco0819, I guess it has something to do with the computer itself. Can that computer ping the other computers? Make sure that the computer belongs to the same homegroup. When the USB drive is connected  directly to your computer, can you access the files? YOu may also try disabling the antivirus on that computer.

  • WRT350N - How to read associated usb drive??

    Ok, so I've set everything up. All our laptops have a wireless internet connection and our desktop is connected via ethernet. I have a Lacie USB drive I need to connect to the network. When I go through the Linksys software setup, the drive is recognized, but none of the computers can read the drive's contents. I have no security in place to ease the initial setup process. I can access the router page from the laptops, but that's as far as I can get. I'm sure I'm overlooking something very simple - I just can't figure it out. The USB light is lit on the router. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    go to start >> search for computer
    type \\192.168.1.1 and click search .. you should find the drive.. let me know whether this helps you or not ..

  • Usb drive - ftp connects but no folders/files listed

    I am sure it is something on my end, but I can't get any folders/files to show up when i ftp to my conencted usb drive.
    In the linksys control panel, I have created users along with passwords. I created one user with read/write capabilities and another with just read capability.
    using both a browser and cuteftp, i can connect to either account with no problem, but no files show up , it is just blank.
    Thinking it may be a directory issue, I connected using cuteftp and pointed it at the directory i wanted . Again, it connected just fine but no files were listed (it is all music files)
    When I am connected, with cuteftp, it appears to show me in the root directory just a / - which is why i tried pointing it to the correct directory /music.......
    I am connecting using port 21 as shown in the linksys control panel.
    any suggestions appreciated.
    I do have access to the drive locally in my network. All of my computers can see it and share the files.....just can't get the ftp to work.
    thanks

    Have you assigned correct shares to those users you have created? And can you also give the exact model / brand of your device so it would be easier for other users as well.

  • NAS vs USB drive connected to E3000

    Greetings,
    Can someone summarize (or point me to a summary) of the tradeoffs of using a USB drive attached to my Linksys E3000 wireless router vs some variety of NAS device just plugged in to the network?
    I am running a small home network (PC-based, windows 7/Windows Vista), with one directly-connected PC and several laptops and a wireless printer.
    I want to be able to, at the very least, perform backups of the various computers I have.
    Apart from speed differences (USB2.0 vs. GigE), what do I gain or lose?  Which is more flexible?  etc...
    Thanks.

  • How to access USB drive on e4200 remotely

    Hello,
    I recently bought a e4200 v2 and installed connect cloud. I have attached a USB drive to the router. I can connect to it by mapping a network drive on my windows 7 laptop. I can also access it as a media server through my iPad on the local wifi network. This way I can play the music on the USB drive through the iPad. The next thing I would like to accomplish is to be able to listen to the music on the USB drive through the internet (so remotely). Is that even possible?
    Regards and thanks,
    Steven

    Hi there. That is actually possible. When you open your CCC go to USB Storage and set Enable FTP Server to ON. It is important as well to have a public internet ip address on the router which means coming from your internet service provider. For other cases, it is static so that it will not change. Are you by the way on Cable internet or DSL internet service? If you are example on DSL internet and your internet ip address from your ISP is private (192.168.1.4) then remotely accessing anything from your router is not possible you have to set the dsl modem to full bridge in order for it to work. To verify your internet ip address using CCC, go to Connectivity on the side panel and it comes up with a page and click on Internet Settings up on top.   And say you wish to access the music files on your windows 7 laptop remotely, you have to set a static ip address to that computer and forward port 21 (default for ftp) on the router. Usually the address that you will type in on the address bar on your remote device is ftp://publicwanip. By the way, you may refer to the links below I found from Cisco's public kb site.

  • WRT350N USB Drive Max File Size?

    What is the max. file size for the FAT32 USB Drive when attached to a WRT350N?  When I try to transfer a 11.7 GB file to the Drive, the drive "disconnects" after 3.8GB has been transfered.  [Transfer status window shows 7.9 GB remaining to be transfered a the time of disconnect.]  I've tried both the Mapped Network drive and the FTP Sever approaches and get the same results every time.  All smaller files transfer to the WRT350N USB Drive successfully every time.  I using a Windows Vista Ultimate desktop (Wired connection) and the Router has 1.3.02 frimware.
    The symptoms tend to indicate that the max. file size is limited to 4GB?  Is this correct? 

    You will have to format your disk with the help of the WRT350N and after that you will have creat Share with same "Storage" tab on the linksys router.

  • EA4500 USB drive going offline

    I have the latest firmware installed.  I have an Intel SSD drive formatted as NTFS attached to the USB port.  I have a device which has the drive mounted and copies files to the USB storage once a minute.  After about 3 hours, the goes offline and I have to discconect it and reconnect it.  The files are about 16Meg.  I'm not able to see anything in the log as it wraps by the time I catch the error.  The drive is readable from another computer.  The device making the copies sees an empty directory but will see all the folders when the USB device is unplugged and replugged in, then brought online.
    Any idea what causes storage to go offline?

    Try another USB drive on the router and see if it will have the same problem. Do try another device or computer, too, to see if it will get the same issue. It is possible that you may have to reset the router and reconfigure from scratch.

  • E4200 - Plug in external USB drive & lose network connection

    Hi - I have the Linksys E4200 [version 1] and my wireless network is set up and configured. I'm browsing with no issues.  Within Linksys setup, FTP & UPnP are enabled.  I have a 500GB Toshiba external USB [2.0] hard drive [E05A050DAU2XM].  When I connect it to the E4200 the data light on the modem goes off within 10-20 seconds & I lose network connection.  I've tried leaving the drive plugged in and rebooting either/both the cable modem and the router but network connection is not restored until I disconnect the drive & power cycle the router.  Not sure what is happening.  The modem is a Cisco DPC3010 DOCSIS 3.0.  I should also say that this was happening with, I believe, firmware version 1.0.01.  I updated to Ver.1.0.06 (build 3) & the issue is still occurring.  Thanks so much for anyone who could lend their advice!

    It maybe a drive size problem that maybe the problem and not compatible. If a smaller size drive works and the larger does not. then this could be the issue. I don't recommend any drives over 500Gb to 1Tb on the USB. The larger the drives are the more problematic the issues can be and should a drive become full, the longer processing of the information will be come and USB is not the best performance for handling large file xfers and should not be used like dedicated NAS.Some routers are just not compatible with large size USB drives. If you need a large size drive for files and streaming, a dedicated NAS device would be suggested and prefered over USB drives. 

  • USB drive kills wireless connection?

    I have a MacBook Pro Late 2008 2.4ghz running OS X 10.6.4. When I plug in my LaCie portable HD via USB, it almost always kills the wireless connection. The LaCie is bus powered, and the connection is via a single USB port.
    The LaCie works fine. I never have a problem with it. But it not only has a tendency to disconnect my wireless connection (to a Linksys wrt-54g), but it prevents my MBP from reconnecting. The airport icon will keep searching, and pop up the wireless connection window, but when I try re-connecting to my wireless network with WAP password, it'll fail to connect. When I eject the usb drive, wireless will work fine again.
    This doesn't happen every time, but it's fairless consistent. Any ideas on what the problem is and how to fix it?

    Obviously, this isn't supposed to happen. Try resetting your computer's PRAM. If that doesn't do the trick, reset your computer's SMC.
    If that doesn't do the trick, it could be a software issue. You can search Apple's download website for the correct Combo Updater for your OS (10.5.8 for Leopard, 10.6.4 for Snow Leopard).
    If that doesn't do it, I would take the machine to an Apple Store or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider and have it looked at.
    Good luck!

  • IPhone 5 iOS 6.1.4 and Windows 7 x64 USB Driver Issues

    Been pulling my hair out with this one for the last week or so and haven't had any luck finding anything on the forums or the web regarding a solution short of a full reinstall of Windows 7 which I am not prepared to do at this time; so hoping someone here can shine some light on this for me
    I have a iPhone 5 that is updated to iOS 6.1.4 and a recently built Windows 7 64-bit machine. All of my other USB devices function fine (keyboard, mouse, Xbox 360 wireless receiver for Windows, and a Seagate 2TB external USB drive). I've downloaded the most recent version of iTunes, installed successfully and then attempt to plug in my phone to sync. I get the standard Windows *ding* that I've attached a device and 1 of 2 things happens (I haven't been able to determine what causes one reaction to happen versus the other): Windows will successfully install the 'Apple USB Mobile Device Driver' successfully and it will appear under my USB devices in Device Manager. However - iTunes will not recognize the phone and I cannot see it in Windows either. In the 'Devices and Printers' snap-in my iPhone will appear under 'Unspecified Devices' as the 'Apple USB Mobile Device'. The iTunes diagnostics fail to find a connected device so the tests fail. As soon as I unplug the device, the strangest thing happens: Windows will start trying to install a device driver and after a few seconds it will fail stating that the "MTP Device Driver" installation failed because the device was unplugged. iTunes also thrown an error "iTunes cannot connect to this iPhone" throwing error code 0XE8000065 (I've also seen error code 0XE8000085 as well)
    After some finagling, I've managed to get Windows to recognize the device under 'Portable Devices' in Device Manager as an "MTP USB Device" using the generic driver. At this point, I've tried updating the driver and manually specifying the Apple USB driver located in the C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Drivers which updates successfully but then changes the device to "Apple USB Mobile Device" and moves it under the USB Devices in Device Manager; and Windows nor iTunes can see it even still.
    I've tried removing iTunes several times and ensuring that all remnants of the installation are gone (registry and folders on the installation drive) and have disconnected all my USB devices short of the keyboard and mouse and still I get the same results. At this point, I'm afraid that a re-install of Windows is going to be the solution; but it's a drastic one (I have a SSD drive where Windows is installed along with all of my games for faster load times/better performance and do not want to have to redownload\reinstall all of them) and I'm not prepared to undertake it at this time, which is why I'm posting here
    I've used a utility called USBDeview that sees my phone is connected - so I know from a functional standpoint that my USB ports are good and working. I also know the cable is good too - my daughter's PC (Windows 7 32-bit with NO iTunes) immediately sees the device when I plug it in, installs the drivers, recognizes it as an iPhone and I can then see/browse it in Windows Explorer like I would normally expect. My work PC (Windows 7 64bit, NO iTunes) sees the device just fine as well. I would immensely appreciate anyone that has seen this issue or has any additional solutions I can try.
    It's also worth mentioning that I've never used Kapersky antivirus so the UPPERFILTERS value in the registry that I've seen as a solution on some forums is not present on my machine. I'm using Microsoft Security Essentials as my antivirus (no flaming please lol - it meets my needs and is extremely lightweight, which is why I'm using it on a gaming rig) and it's not indicating any issues. I've also tried running iTunes as an administrator (even though my account is a local admin on the machine) and that does not have any effect either.
    If there is anything I left out, please let me know; and I thank you in advance!

  • New Firewire 800 External Hard Drive and how to use old External USB Drive

    Hi All,
    I have a new LaCie d2 Quadra Hard Disk hard drive 500 GB - FireWire / FireWire 800 / Hi-Speed USB / eSATA-300 on the way, when it arrives I plan to use it as my Time Machine Backup drive with the FireWire 800 connection. I am currently using a Seagate Free Agent USB 2.0 320 GB external drive as my Time Machine disk. The reason for upgrading is the USB drive is slow slow slow! I am not concerned about the data on my old drive and will just wipe it clean using Disk Utility. What I would like to do is use the old drive to archive iTunes 7.7.1 and Aperture 2.0 music and photographs. Can someone give me an idea how to go about doing this?
    Thanks!

    Hi, yes that will copy the whole iTunes..including everything in iTunes..BUT, as you add to your iTunes on the Main HD, with the ext HD I think you will have to manually update anything added. Or dragNdrop the whole thing again.. You could also locate you iTunes music Library & just copy that across..With images once again find your iPhoto library & just copy that across..L

  • How do  I Install Windows 7 on Mac Book Pro via a Bootable USB Drive

    Hi Guys,
    I have a Mac Book Pro 13 inch, Early 2011 Processor  2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 (I initially had OS 10.5.8 which I upgraded to OSX 10.9.4 a few months ago).
    When purchased it, I installed Windows via Super Drive (that being the only time i ever used the super drive). My Windows got corrupted for some reason 2 months ago. Hence, I removed the windows via Bootcamp to perform a fresh install. I discovered my Super Drive was no longer working.
    Thereon I have been trying to install Windows via a bootable USB Drive but am failing to do so. After going through several forums, I have reached the following stage.
    1. Created Bootable Windows USB Drive using Windows USB (http://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-Bootable-Windows-7-or-Vista-USB-Drive). Have used this USB drive to install windows on a DELL Computer
    2. Bootcamp wasnt creating a partition for windows since no Windows Installation disc was being detected in super drive. (Solved it by downloading Toast Titanium and loading the .iso file on a virtual drive).
    3. Boot menu was initially not detecting external drive, so installed rEFIt - An EFI Boot Menu and Toolkit. Now it is detecting the USB Drive.
    Now when I boot from this device, it get a black screen with the message "No bootable device - Insert Boot Disk"
    Request someone to please help me install windows as some softwares which I work with are windows based.

    So my understanding is that my Boot Camp Assistant (BCA), since it does not allow USB installer, it sets NVRAM to boot from Optical Drive. Right?
    Yes.
    So can I change it or update it to another BCA version which supports the same??
    All BCA versions drive the logic based on the Mac Model Identifier. Unfortunately there is no real workaround. .
