    Samba Share Users Mixup

    I’m on 3004.388.7 on my AX86U_Pro, and have come across an apparent bug in the Network Place share section of the WebUI. I believe (I might be wrong, this is going by my memory), it is usually the case that the main user you create when you setup the Router is the first user in the list of...

    ASUSWRT_Samba_Fixer no longer works after reboot

    Hello folks I have been using an Asus Rt-AC86U router for several years. For me it is very important that I can access my individual SSDs and HDs on the USB3 port individually via Samba. That's why I installed the Samba_Fixer (https://github.com/dnlongen/ASUSWRT_Samba_Fixer). It ran for years...

    Entware Looking for a guide on using Entware's Samba v4

    I would like to switch to Entware's Samba v4 because I'm hoping the added support for TimeMachine with Samba 4.8 would help resolve my current TimeMachine issues. I tried setting it up, but it didn't work for me, and the instructions at OpenWrt didn't help me. I currently use two additional...

    Problem with SAMBA / USB / RT-AC56R / authentication.

    BACKGROUND: I love my RT-AC56R. It works well 90% of the time. Thinking I could extend its life a bit, I installed FreshTomato on it. Bad move. Way too complicated and I found that configuring a 2nd guest network would literally remove internet access from the ethernet ports. So after going down...

    !SMBV1 and Network Discovery Problem

    Hello guys, I wonder if any of you are having the same problem. 384.19 with rt-ac5300.

You enable Samba and even if you don't...
