WRT610n USB Access

Hi.
I just installed a LinkSYS WRT610N and it works very well on my DELL desktop running Windows 7 Ultimate. I didn’t bother with LELA, though I may try it later.
 I installed firmware 1.00.03 B15 using the router itself.
I plugged in a 1gb USB flash drive, and I cannot seem to access it.
I let the WRT610N Format Disk, and then created a share partition called linksysusb. Under that there is a /public directory. The admin has read and write privileges for /public.
Under the Media Server tab, I have UpnP Media Serve Disabled, and NO Auto Scan.
Under the FTP Server tab, I have FTP Server and Internet Access disabled. The Server Name is WRT610N and the Workgroup Name is linksys.
(I have tried this with and wihout ZoneAlarm up.)
What have I done wrong, and what would I have to do on my DELL to be able to see a file called /public on the router’s USB? Would I see /public in Explorer?
Thanks,
MG...

Hi. Just to be sure we are on the same page:
Using Windows Explorer, I right click on "Network", then I select "Map A Network Drive", then I enter "\\192.168.1.1\linksysusb" in response to "What Network Folder Would You Like To Map". This is where I get the "Enter Network Password to connect to 192.168.1.1" message box. This is where I'm stuck.
Your last post says "Open the router setup page as you can and create a new user and password for the storage.." Is this implying that the WRT610N requires a special password for the USB storage above and beyond the "admin" password? I cannot find where to enter a specific Password for the USB storage.
Perhaps I'm missing something that is obvious. Do I have to set up a Workgroup? Will it require a Password, and is this possibly the "Network Password" in question?
Yikes, I seem to be going nowhere. Thanks for your patience. Every bit of advice helps.

  • I have "hidden" my devices/USB access and now cannot figure out how to get them back on so I can re-access the USB files.  How do I do this?  (Is it just me, or should this be a reasonably simple task that shoul NOT require a post to the Apple community?)

    Under "Devices," I have "hidden" my USB access and now cannot figure out how to re-access or "show" USB access again.  Very frustrated right now--this is a high-use feature for me and it should NOT be so buried somewhere that I cannot find it.  So much for Mac's "intuitive" interface.

    Well, you have also "hidden" what version of OS X you are using from anyone who might want to help you.
    You are probably using a newer version than I am, but I don't know that these things have changed.
    In the Finder, from the Finder menu > Preferences …, there should be a Sidebar pane to choose what is visible.
    Also in the Finder, Go menu > Computer (or type Shift Command C) will open a Finder window with any attached volumes showing.

  • Linksys WRT610N - USB port - possibilities ??

    Hello
    1. What is the transfer from the USB drive connected to the router to a computer in LAN network? maximum as for possible USB connection? The Gigabit should allow it.
    2. Can I expect with new firmware that it will be possbile connect a 3G modem to the USB port a have this way internet access ??? This kind of solution is available in Edimax 3G-6200n router. 

    If i understand you correctly , you want to share the data of USB drive with other computers in your LAN network.
    You will have to map the network drive with the computer connected to it.After mapping you can share the different computer.
    When to mapped the drive there is a option you have to check Reconnect while log on please click here and follow step to Map Drive. 
    The USB port on WRT610N wireless router doesnot support modem connection.

  • WRT610N usb ioSafe Solo 1TB

    WRT610N ver 1 (Firmware Ver: 1.00.03 B15) via USB port to ioSafe Solo 1TB external (NTFS) hard drive.
    According to ioSafe's FAQ under "Converting the ioSafe Solo to a NAS", the "Linksys WRT610N is the best bet for Windows systems as it will read and write to an NTFS or FAT32 formatted drive. We recommend this for Windows networks."
    http://www.iosafe.com/faq-solo
    Yet for the life of me I seem to have wasted an entire day trying to make my Vista laptop "see" the ioSafe on my wired LAN (wireless is off).
    I have followed the Vista instructions under the User Guide Appendix B to a "T".  I have tried every recommendation I can find here and elsewhere and am at my wits end.
    Would someone, anyone be so kind as to hold my hand to make sure I am doing all of this correctly.
    The most confusing step in my mind is the "shares" and how to properly configure it.
    I only wish to access the ioSafe HD from a Vista laptop on my local wired LAN (no FTP from the internet) to store archival files of personal photos and videos.  It will not be used with a media server but simply as a safe place to store irreplacable files.

    Go to Solution.

    To access your USB Drive on your Vista computer, first thing which you need to do is, enable the Network Discovery Service on your vista computer. Click on Start - Control Pannel - Network and Sharing Center - and under this window first enable the "Network Discovery" Option....
    Now on your vista computer click on Start - RUN - and type "\\192.168.1.1" (Without quotes) and hit enter, and it should prompt you for the Usernamd and Password, in the Usernamd and Password use "admin" all in lower cae and click Ok...Now you should be able to see your USB Drive... You need to right click on it and select "Map Network Drive" and check the box Enable and below click on Finish... This will Map the USB Drive on your Vista computer... Once done you will be able to Send and Receive the data from your Computer to the USB Drive...

  • Windows XP and Windows 7 cannot see my WRT610N USB Drive

    I have the WRT610N V2 router with current firmware.  I have tried a thumb drive and an IOMEGA 1tb drive.  In both cases the router sees the drive, allows me to create partitions, groups, and users but the computers in my home cannot see the drive.  I tried the Network wizard and explorer drive map option.  I even tried start/run typing wrt610n or \\wrt610n and I get network path cannot be found.  I have three computers in the house, one (XP) with Norton 360, one (XP) with SOFOS and one with no AV sw at all (Win7).  None of these can see the network path.
    What am I missing? 
    Thanks
    Dan

    To map the drive on your computer click on Start - RUN - type "\\192.168.1.1" and click ok... When prompted for Username and Password type "admin" and click ok... Now you will be able to see the folder which you have shared on  your router, right click on it and select "Map network drive" and click on finish.
    Now it will map the drive on your computer and you should be able to transfer the file from your computer to the USB drive.

  • WRT610N as access point

    I am using a Fios actiontec router.  I would like to be able to use the WRT610N as  a wireless access point or as a 2nd router and turn off the Actiontec wireless feature.  I cannot find any information on how to make the WRT610N into an access point or a 2nd router on any of the Linksys support or documentation.  Is the WRT610N capable of either of these 2 scenarios?

  • CFP-2220 USB access in Labview

    I have a LabVIEW program (Labview 2012) running deployed on a CFP-2220 (Field Point version 6.0.11). The program creates a log file that is saved to a USB drive connected to the CFP. I was wondering if there was a way in Labview to access this file (say once a day) and transfer it to the computer the CFP is connected to while the program is running (as the program will be running continuously).  
    If it is easier, I could also write the file directly to the CFP's hard drive.

    Hi,
    You have a few options.
    To access the files on the drive from Windows follow the instructions in this documentation: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/6245C8EEB74984F786256BA40052D992?OpenDocument
    If you want to run something on the cFP to transfer the files you will need to have a FTP server to connect to: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/9a004cf5241f3cb68625779e004ee159?OpenDocument
    An example of how to transfer the files automatically from the target can be found here: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-15379
    If you want to transfer the files from a process on your host computer you can access the target from the same FTP information as in the first link above and use the FTP VI's to do it.
    Hopefully this points you in the right direction!

  • WRT610N usb disk upgrade *#

    I have a version 2 WRT610N dual band wireless/GB router. It has worked great.  I use it as one of two backup drives for all of my home computers.  The other drive is an IOMEGA 2TB network drive.   BTW, it was just this week that I figured out how to get HD sony video etc. streaming without stutter, but that is another topic.  I want to upgrade the drive to a 1TB and faster drive.  My old drive is a lenovo/fujitsu 500GB 5400 RPM drive. It works great, but it is slower and I need more space.  So the problem becomes a series of - buy new drive, format it, put in router, router doesn't recognize it.  I tried this many times of the year and gave up.  Yesterday I got a new Seagate 500GB 7200 RPM drive. I figured I would try it again and mistakenly backed up 400GB of data to it first (wasting time) only to have the router's web page 'can't recognize usb device.'   Arghh. I have the latest firmware also.   After searching, I can't find a list of supported drives.  I can't keep going to the store and returning drives.   I am on support now with linksys, on second person, on second 5 minute hold.   I was just told that 'just to set expectations, you no longer have warranty support.'   So now I am on hold again.  I only want a list of drives that will work so I don't waste time and gasoline.   I am wondering if I should consider upgrading routers completely, but that seems to be a waste also since the rest of the functions in the WRT610N work great.

    I tried the KB site of Cisco and I found the list. Here's the link: List of Compatible HD and USB disk for WRT610Nv2.

  • WRT610N USB port locks up during file copy

    Brand new wrt610n works like a charm except for the USB port.  We bought the router specifically for that feature and we got a small USB drive to attach to it.  Problem is, when backing up a workstation using just file copy of no more than 5G of data, the USB port hangs up.  Can't get to it via the management we interface storage tab.  The rest of the router continues to function properly.  The USB light stays on.  Disconnecting the drive from the router and reconnecting causes the USB light to go off but it doesn't come back on.  A router reset corrects the locked USB port.  The drive functions properly connected to a workstation or our DVR.
    Is this broken hardware or broken software?

    Checked the firmware for updates but nothing on this problem.  The drive is a WD 750g USB 2.0.  Tech support wants me to reflash the router just incase the firmware was corrupted.
    If that doesn't work, I suppose I could reformat the drive with the Linksys router management software.  I didn't have to do that because it recognized the drive right out of the box as FAT2.  This drive works fine attached to one fo the PCs.

  • WRT610N USB Drive File Format

    What USB file formats will the WRT610Nv2 support NTFS and or FAT/FAT32?
    Is there a Drive Size Limitation for the USB, like 1.5 drive?

    Router with Storage Link only supports FAT32  file system formatted USB storage while USB storage formatted with other file system will not be detected when plugged into the router.

  • \wrt610n - Are access restrictions broken?

    Evening,
    I've had a WRT610n for a while now and it's not given me any hassle.  However I've been letting my neighbour use my net connection wirelessly and decided that I wanted to lock down their connection so they only had access to the internet on ports, 53 (DNS), 80 (HTTP) and SSL on 443.
    I didn't think this would be a problem using access policies so logged in via the web client and setup a policy applied to their MAC address on policy setting 1 blocking access to everything but the above ports.  In the application blocking down the bottom of the page, I created 4 new settings as follows.
    Name = Range1, Protocols both, Ports 1 to 52
    Name = Range1, Protocols both, Ports 54 to 79
    Name = Range1, Protocols both, Ports 81 to 442
    Name = Range1, Protocols both, Ports 444 to 65,535
    I then added them to the blockedl list on the right.  As a test, I also set it against my laptop mac addy so I knew if it worked or not.
    When testing I used ftp from a dos prompt and tried to reach ftp.microsoft.com which is a valid working ftp site.
    Basically, when the policy was enabled, I could still get the ftp to work.  If I took out my port ranges and only added port 21, the ftp connection was blocked as I excpected.  After trying various things, I ended up taking all the applications out of the application list on the left leaving only my 4, then moved that 4 to the bocked list and hey presto it worked.
    Unfortunately...
    When I took my laptop mac addy out of the policy, the policy was still being applied to my laptop.  I tried rebooting my laptop, tried rebooting the router all to no avail.  I then tried setting another policy up granting access to everything for my laptop which done no go.  I even then tried creating the new policy granting my laptop access to everything as number 1, and the other as number 2.
    Finally as a last attempt, I reflashed the router with the latest firmware again (which it was running already), done a factory settings reset and set the router up again with my prefered settings.  I've just tried setting the access policy up again and it now once again doesn't even work.
    Anyone any ideas?
    Dave

    This is my findings, when i add "google.com" to the URL blocking and point my browser to www.google.com it does not block it, if I leave out the www it will block it. A little too explicit in my opinon.

  • WRT610N USB HD timeouts.

    Hi I just bought a wrt610n and config everything for it. I plug a Maxtor 1TB HD in the USB for FTP/Media Services. Well I have all that working but after its left sitting idle for sometime the WRT610N drops the connection to the USB. Is this a common issue or is their a work around? Yes I have the latest firmware don the router.

    As you have already tired installing the Firmware on your Router, and it didn't work when you connect your 1TB drive to your router, Basicaly the 1 TB drive will only work when formatted to NTFS File System, else it won't work...
    What is the File System on your Hard Drive ?

  • About to purchase but question about usb access to Sony DVD-RW camera

    I am on the verge of purchase of a macbook and it would be my first mac at that. Specifically, I am looking for information on using the usb connection between my camera and the macbook. I am coming from the Windows world, and the camera software is windows only. I record my stuff in VR mode, and when I plug in via usb the windows software allows me to pull off the VRO files. Then I have another windows program that is able to read the VRO files and I can move them around (I don't edit the contents of the VROs), put transitions and then create a dvd. My question when moving to the macbook, can I still record in VR mode and then when done recording, without finalizing the disk, hook the usb cable to the macbook and it will be able to read those files? I read in other posts something similar but not definitive that it could not do this. There might be other software (ie, something call readDVD) that might be able to but could not determine, for sure, that it could do this over the usb (since I can't pull the 8CM disk and put it in the non-tray DVD drive). Or is there a better suggestion, please be kind that I don't know what is possible on the MAC.
    For what is it worth, my scenario that I have put up with (because it gave me results that were adequate) on the windows side, had me record in VR mode and it gave me control over all the individual segments (hitting record and then stop is a segment) that I could manipulate individually with the windows software. I don't know enough about what is possible with the usb connection and the software on the MAC to know what to expect out of the box and if I have to buy additional software (to pull the movies off the video camera). If I recorded in Video mode, and then finalized and then hooked the usb cable to the macbook, would the resultant files be able to be read by iMovie? If so, would it be the individual segments or would it be one be movie (ie, all segments rolled up into a/many vob(s))? I want to be able to join many segments from many different disks onto one dvd. Maybe that is the crux of my question and may really be better suited for the iMovie forum rather than this one. If, so, please forgive my ignorance.

    Welcome to macbook forum,
    Could you post your camera model / type, so we can check that out for you in order to give you better answers.
    Or you can check this link for camcorder that supported on new iMovie 7.x.x.

  • Laptop Keeps Dropping USB Access

    I upgraded my MacBook Pro (15" Early 2008) to Mountain Lion the other week and did the update to 10.8.2. Ever since the upgrade I intermittently lose all external keyboard and mouse access. I can be working on it fine and then without warning the mouse stops moving and the keyboard becomes inaccessible. I can use the laptops keyboard and trackpad. This happens once every couple of days and in different apps. The mouse still shows it's receiving power. After it happens I am unable to shut down restart or log on to another use. When I try nothing happens. I have to manually power down and start up and then everything works again.
    edit to add: I have reset the PRAM. I dont have another mouse or KB to test.
