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,

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 ....

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!!!!
Ken

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

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..

How to use USB storage on X3500

How do i set up for my Macbook to see the USB storage that I connect to the X3500? When I go to Finder>Network>X3500 SMB server, It said that Connection fail. However I can access it with no problem in Windows 7 using bootcamp.
I'm using Macbook pro retina running 10.9.3

@vickvohoang, make sure and verify the correct IP Address of your X3500 router. The 192.168.1.1 is only the default IP Address. It might be changed and you need to check it. To check:
1. Click the Apple icon then select the System Preferences… option.
2. Click the Network icon under Internet & Wireless.
3. On the Network window, click the Advanced… button. The default Location would be set to Automatic.
4. Click the TCP/IP tab. The Mac computer’s IP address, Subnet Mask and the router’s IP address will then be displayed.
Use the current Router's IP to map the network drive and you should be okay.

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.

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.

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.
