Hi all,

I hope somebody can help me. I had a set of XT9, which worked perfectly with my external hard disk. Now, I have purchased the EMB68 and GUI of expertwifi.net gives me a lot of troubles. The main one is:

Under “USB Application” and “Samba Share”, I can create new accounts besides my main “admin” account and assign R/W or R rights to it. (In Safari and Firefox the part with these rights is not even shown: I can see it only in Chrome) I assign the correct rights (R/W) to the new account but cannot access the data of the drive by using this account. The message “access denied” is shown in the application I am using. However, when I use the credentials of the main “admin” account, everything works flawlessly.

I suspect that the new accounts are just shown in GUI but the assigned rights (R/W) are not saved somehow.

How can I solve this issue?

I am running the latest firmware, have tested different browsers, devices and even the Asus ExpertWifi app on my tablet. I kept refreshing the expertwifi webpage, rebooting the routers, logging out and in again. Nothing works. I also checked all possible forums but could not find any solution. I have submitted feedback to the Asus technicians but I am pretty sure it will take months before they fix this.
