Setting up WRT350N USB Storage Disk

Well, I'm about 24 hours from returning this router!  I've setup and encrypted the network with no issues, the storage drive... that's another story!!  I have a WD 320 Gig external that is hanging off of the router.  I've tried to follow the cryptic Linksys help screens to set up the drive, but I'll be (censored) if I can find the **bleep** thing on the network.  Are there instructions out on the WEB or can some sharp network type put into english the secret of making the storage drive visible and available on the internal network?  Any help would be MOST APPRECIATED!!!!

yes..that's right...u need to click on claim disk / claim to format the drive

  • Satellite Z830 - recovery backup on USB storage disk

    I need to do the recovery system backup of this Z830.
    But unfortunately, the system did not recognize the usb storage disk for doing this recovery.
    Obviously, the usb storage disk have plenty of space and work OK on this Z830.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance

    I dont know what do you mean under usb storage disk but I can just confirm what PauPau wrote. You cannot copy recovery image on HDD and use it for recovery image installation.
    Please open Users manuals and page 90. There you can find detailed description about creating recovery media. It can be used DVD or USB flash memory.

  • WRT350N - USB Storage; How to??

    Hello all,
    This is the first time I have entered this forum! It looks excellent.
    A week ago I bought myself a wireless-N router, the WRT350N. I bought this one because of the excellent reviews and most of all because of the USB-storage link.
    This router works very fine. I have already connected my HP C5180 All In One.
    However, now I want to connect my external hard drive. This is untill now not successfull. I hope someone can help me.
    I'm running:
    - notebook from HP, the DV9870ED with Windows Vista.
    - external drive, a Western Digital My Book Essential Edition 250 GB with USB 2.0. This external HD is not empty. The File System is NTFS.
    When I look 'in' the router I can see my External HD. As far as I know I have shared it. I have not claimed it, because in my opinion it looks like this will erase the HD and it is stored with important data. What is the next step or what are the next steps?
    Please, can someone hand out a tutorial or a step-by-step manual?
    Thanking you in advance.
    Kind Regards.

    Hi,
    NTFS works. No need to reformat, existing data is safe (unless you use Linksys to erase it).
    On the first tab "Disk", have you done "Create Share"?
    On the next tab "Shares", it should show the HD under "Share Name" as "All_Partitions".
    Press "Create New Share", give it a "Share Name" and save.
    You might have to set permissions under "Share Access".
    Under the tab "Administration", set the "Machine Name" and "Workgroup Name" I used the same WG as my network.
    Under "User Management", "User Name / Properties", set a password.
    You can also setup "FTP Server", both local and internet access.
    It's a couple of month since I set mine up.
    Good luck,
    dRdoS7.

  • Wrt350n usb storage- what will it handle

    The doc seems to imply that if you hook a usb disk up, it will have to be reformatted. Is this correct?
    Can I move an existing ntfs file syetem usb disk from a windows xp computer to the wrt350n storage usb slot, and actually access the ntfs data?
    It says it supports multiple disk partitions. This suggests one might support multiple USB disks as individual partitions with a usb hub? Is that correct?
    fyi for you browsers...
    This is a slick feature, the docs could use some fleshing out.
    In searching for an answer to my question, I came across lots of how the heck do you use this (wrt350n storage)- Go to the set up page usually at 192.168.1.1,
    click storage. One of the screens will let you name the "computer", defaults
    to linksyswrt350n or some such (lets say foo), and the windows workgroup
    name to join, lets say "myworkgroup". Also name the partition "mydisk"
    Then computers in Myworkgroup see a network computer named
    \\foo\mydisk\
    good luck...

  • WRT350N-USB Storage

    I have an external drive mapped and working Ok.
    However, on the first boot of the computer, I always have to log-in when accessing the storage via Windows Explorer.
    Anyway to disable this log-in?
    I found the log-in info under the router's Storage/Admin-User Management area. It's not the same log-in as when accessing the router via it's IP.
    Tried just leaving it blank, but that doesn't work.
    Live Chat said to use the same as my computer's log-in. However, I do not have a pass set for this computer as I'm the only one on it and I don't want to be going thru that routine everytime I turn on the computer. Besides, unless something is changed in the router, I think it would ask for it anyway.
    Any ideas? Need it disable it so that camera security software can access it without having to 'log-in' since that software obviously can't do that.
    Thanks all.
    T.O.

    You can try disabling the option under internet explorer "enable anonymous login"
    Click OK....
    Also delete all files & cookies under internet options ..... delete username & password also ....

  • After croping a photo I sometimes cannot drag the photo to a SD chip or usb storage disk for transfer to another computer.

    some photo file that are edited (croped etc) are rejected when I attempt to drag into a SD chip or usb stick. the icon show a / instead of the + and does not allow the transfer of the file. any idea why some files after editing are rejected for transfer to a S/D chip.

    And what does happen?
    Have you selected one of the problem photos and right clicked and said to show file and see what you get?
    What else have you tried?
    We can make much better guesses if we have some information other than it does not work

  • How to setul itunes usb storage app

  • I have a set of 3 USB disk connected to my TC via a USB hud. I usually swithc the TC at night. When I restart the next day it stucks in amber state. when I disconnect the USB hub where my discs connects and restart, it start properly. Any hints?

    I have a set of 3 USB disks connected to my Time capsule (TC) via a USB hub. I usually switch the TC at night. When I restart the next day it stucks in amber state. When I disconnect the USB hub where my discs connects and restart, the TC will start properly. Any hints?

    LOL.. don't switch off the TC.. this is fairly typical behaviour..
    Or try a different usb hub.. but you could well and truly run out of hubs before you fix the problem.
    Are you running latest firmware for your TC?
    What error message is coming up in the airport utility.. amber led is a fault indicator.. look up what the actual fault is and see if it is for instance overloading the usb. You are using a powered hub??
    Get one bigger USB hard disk instead of 3 smaller ones.

  • WRT350N FTP access to USB storage

    I have my WRT350N setup.  all computers within my LAN can access my usb storage device.   I can not access my usb storage device using a computer outside my LAN.
    if you log on to 99.225.89.229:8080 it will ask you for user id and pass word to log into my router.
    if you try to log on to 99.225.89.229:21 it wont even connect asking you for a user id and password.
    my guess is the router is not allowing port 21 to be accessed, but I'm not sure.  Any one know how to fix this problem?

    Upgrade the router with a latest firmware first..
    Once its upgraded reset the router for 30 sec and then reconfigure the router again..
    Open the FTP port 21 on the port range triggering option.
    Basically port range triggering is for the incomming ports and when you try to access the USB from outside LAN then this port 21 will help you with it..

  • Windows Server 2008 R2 only detect USB storage drives if I restart the system

    Hi, I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 with an weird behaviour. I cannot connect any USB drive (not USB external hard disk neither pendrives). Windows device manager detects the device as
    Mass Storage Device, but with a yellow exclamation sign. The exact error code is:
    The device cannot start.
    However, if I restart the machine keeping the USB disk plugged, the hard disk (or pendrive) is correctly detected and usable.
    I've tried:
    Update mass storage driver.
    Review HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\usbstor "Start"
    and is 3 (I think is right)
    I've tried with different usb hard disks that are working in other PCs.
    I've tried with large (>1TB) disks and small (8GB) pendrives.
    I've tried all available USB ports, front and back, with same behaviour.
    Always I get a yellow exclamation  (Device cannot start) and if I restart the computer the device is working perfectly.
    Can someone help me?
    Thanks in advance
    Edit: Here is the log of connecting a Kingstone USB 8GB pendrive

    I tried, but windows says that the best driver is alredy installed.
    Now I've just tried to delete (uninstall) absolutly all devices under Universal Serial Bus Controller
    (host controllers, root hubs, etc) into Device Manager, and then I've click on
    Scan for hardware changes to force reinstall of all USB drivers. After that I've connected my USB external hard disk and has been correctly recognized and its working. However I don't know if when I'll restar the server and connect a new one usb device
    it will continue working or not. I'll try later, because this is a production server.
    I've tried for drivers into HP site to update or reinstall, but there isn't any driver for motherboard or USB controller. It's an HP ML350 G6.

  • Can Windows Server Backup spread a single backup job across multiple disks if they are not set up as a virtual disk?

    This may be a dumb question, but I can't seem to find any definitive information after having done many, many searches.  Short question is - can Windows Server Backup spread a single backup job across multiple disks if they are not in a storage
    pool or some other RAID/JBOD structure?
    Background:
    I'm running Server 2012 Essentials with all Windows Updates installed.  I have been backing up approx 2.8TB of data (Bare Metal Recovery, C:, S: (shared folders), and system reserved) for the past year+ onto a storage pool made up of two-2TB external
    USB drives.  Backup is slow (takes approx 1.5 days to complete), but generally works.  Not surprisingly I was constantly getting capacity low messages so I decided to increase my backup storage pool by adding a 3TB drive and another spare 750GB drive
    for a total of 7.75TB.  Instead of having four separate external USB enclosures, I bot a 4-bay enclosure - Startech.com model #S3540BU33E to simplify this (or so I thought!).
    The first problem I had was adding the two new drives to the existing storage pool. I think that is because the Startech uses a JMicron USB controller that reports identical uniqueid's for all drives so only one shows up in the GUI interface for creating storage
    pools. After doing research on this, I set up a new storage pool and virtual disk using all four drives via Powershell and thought I was good. However, when the backup ran, it failed after filling the first drive, saying there was no remaining capacity. In
    reality there were three remaining empty drives and there storage pool reported almost 5TB of avail capacity. I assumed this was due to the identical uniqueid issue so I decided to try a different tactic.
    Instead of using a storage pool that combines all four disks into one virtual disk, I just added each of them to Windows Server Backup as individual drives thinking it would manage them collectively. I.e., when a drive filled up during a particular backup,
    it would just start using the next drive and so on. Apparently this was a foolish assumption because the backup failed again as soon as the first disk filled up.
    So now I don't know if this is still an issue with the identical uniqueid's or if Server Backup actually can't spread a single backup across multiple individual drives that aren't in a pool or other virtual disk implementation. Hence, my original question.
    My guess is that it does *not* spread them across individual disks, but I just wanted to get confirmation.
    Thanks

    Mandy,
    Thank you for following up on my question.
    Unfortunately the article you referenced doesn't address what I am trying to accomplish.
    The article focuses on saving the same backup job to multiple disks and rotating the disks between on and offsite for enhanced protection.  However, it still requires that an individual backup job fits on a single disk.
    What I am trying to determine is if a single backup job can span across more than one physical disk (during the backup process) without those physical disks being in some type of virtual disk implementation (e.g., storage pool, RAID, etc.).
    Thanks,
    Gerry

  • [solved] USB storage devices problem

    Hello everyone. I have MSI Wind U270 and recently I've moved from Ubuntu 11.04 to Arch. I really like Arch so far but I have one quite big problem and I can't find any solution, so I hope someone here could help me.
    After I'd installed Arch, I tried to copy some file from/to USB flash drive. After just few seconds, transfer failed with information about I/O errors and USB flash drive disappeared along with any other USB drives connected at the same time but logitech usb mouse and keyboard continue to work.
    My first thought was that it's simply broken USB drive, but same thing was happening also when I tried to move some files from/to any other USB storage device that I have.
    Here is sample dmesg output after I connect device:

    Next I thought – computer is broken. But it simply couldn't be true because in Ubuntu it's working.
    I wanted to test if USB transfer is working in other distros, so I downloaded few and tried:
    Ubuntu 11.04 – everything is working
    Ubuntu 11.10 – it's not working, exactly same errors as in Arch
    Ubuntu 12.04 Alpha 2 – it's not working
    Mint 11 – it's working
    Mint 12 – it's not working
    So one thing in common that I can think of is fact that USB transfer is working in distros using kernel <3.0 and is broken in those using kernel >=3.0.
    In dmesg output I can see ehci_hcd errors. When I remove this module before moving files, than everything is working fine apart from very slow transfer but it's obvious.
    I really hope that someone will be able to help with my problem.  I don't know if it's some bug or it's just some configuration error.
    EDIT: problems were caused by rts5139 module (card reader). Blacklisting that module solved all the problems.

    and here is complete /var/log/messages.log - I just started system and then tried to copy some files to USB drive:

  • Latest Initrd not recognising USB storage devices?

    Just installed 2.6.30 with all the necessary files. Everything seemed fine, except for one thing: my external USB hard drive is no longer recognised on boot. Here is my fstab and my mkinitcpio.conf.

    As you can see from this, I originally had my external usb drive mounted on /iomega @ boot. However, since that no longer works, I have changed it to /media/iomega and let HAL mount it automatically when I fire up GNOME (the same way I have my flash drive set up). I used the original line with 2.6.29 with no problems.
    The strange thing is, the device is there, because, when it fails, I go into single user mode, remount / read-write and then run mount -a and the device appears with no errors. If I change the line so it doesn't do an fsck on boot, it doesn't mount the device, but I do get an error saying the device is not there. I can then mount it manually at the command prompt.
    The device is shown in /etc/blkid.tab and in /dev/disk/by-uuid.

    # This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
    # No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
    # HOOKS="base"
    # This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
    # work as a sane default
    # HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata filesystems"
    # This is identical to the above, except the old ide subsystem is
    # used for IDE devices instead of the new pata subsystem.
    # HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide scsi sata filesystems"
    # This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
    # No autodetection is done.
    # HOOKS="base udev pata scsi sata usb filesystems"
    # This setup assembles an pata raid array with an encrypted root FS.
    # Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H raid' for more information on raid devices.
    # HOOKS="base udev pata raid encrypt filesystems"
    # This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
    # HOOKS="base udev usb lvm2 filesystems"
    HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata usb keymap filesystems"
    # COMPRESSION
    # Use this to compress the initramfs image. With kernels earlier than
    # 2.6.30, only gzip is supported, which is also the default. Newer kernels
    # support gzip, bzip2 and lzma.
    #COMPRESSION="gzip"
    #COMPRESSION="bzip2"
    #COMPRESSION="lzma"
    This is essentially the same as I had it in 2.6.29. I did initially use LZMA, since that gives slightly faster compression & decompression, but changed it back in case it was a timing issue (and rebuilt initrd). No joy. I also tried usbdelay=10 on boot, but again no difference.
    This isn't exactly a "show-stopper", since the device functions normally otherwise and everything else is fine, but it is annoying. I would much rather have this device available automatically on boot, so that it gets checked when the max mount count comes up.

    This was the bug update I received today:
    FS#15282 - [mkinitcpio] Latest initrd not recognising usb storage devices?
    User who did this - Thomas Bächler (brain0)
    You can never rely on external hard drives to show up "in time".
    The difference was that adding the "usb" hook to mkinitcpio used to add a 6 second delay on boot by default, this doesn't happen anymore. I think external drives simply don't belong in fstab, because there's too many possible race conditions. If you insist, you can try to force the usb storage driver to scan for devices sooner after detection, see the delay_use parameter to the usb-storage module.
    You're going to have to modify the delay_use parameter to get it to work. Be prepared for race conditions, though. I didn't bother myself as it wasn't a show stopper for me, so I've advised that it can be closed as a non-bug.
    ETA: usbdelay=10 doesn't work as that flag is apparently no longer recognised for some reason.
    ETTA: I've always used UUID in the fstab because udev can remap devices on boot (I've had fstab not recognising devices because of this).
    In case some people don't know, to see what the uuid for a device is, use the following:
    sudo tune2fs -l <device-name>

  • 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...

  • EA4500 USB storage problem

    I have ea4500 with the latest avaiable firmware. smart wi fi, I have tried several USB pens and hard disk  but I cannot save a file over 3.1 mb to to the shareport device. the routers main page shows the correct storage space available, but the computer always shows 3.1 mb available  I can access files saved on the stick no problem, but i cannot add files
    osx mountain lion, all Usb storage device are formatted to FAT 
    please help me I'm desperate!!!

    Are you having the same issue saving files using other computers? Check if this is the case and use a windows- based computer for isolation. Is Secure Folder Access ON and have you set authorized users for your storage device? You might be using a log-in that only has read access as you are not able to add files. See Tested HDD and Printers for the EA4500. These devices are guaranteed to work with the EA4500. If your drive is not on the list, there is a slim chance that the storage feature will not work (properly).
