Added the USB3 thumb drive (32 GB Sandisk), set up AiCloud Sync to my Asus cloud account, connected with my Win11 PC and tried to copy to/from the share on the USB drive. Transfer to started slow, was choppy and took a long time for the 1.5 GB file. Also maxed out the router RAM and froze the GUI until about two minutes after the transfer finished. Copying from the USB drive was almost impossible! As I had saved settings before doing the test I was able to go back easily. Net result, don't use the router to store files. Even small files from the web storage (which I have done for years on prior routers/firmware).
Next I enabled AiProtect and QOS with an update to the Trend signature files. Small impact on RAM which has not changed in four hours. Disabled all USB Applications. Expect this to be the stable config for a while as the router seems to be working well. I really do not need AiCloud Sync so it will stay off for a while.
I have reported the file transfer issue to Asus. Will they ever fix it? Only the Shadow knows...
