R7000 & AdvancedTomato: an issue with media server & my smart tv

[SunrisePro]

Just installed Advanced Tomato yesterday morning and almost everything has been running smoothly. The one issue: my Samsung smart tv (connected via ethernet) loses connection to the media server (ie files on the usb storage device connected to the R7000) every so often. I haven't been able to watch more than 1h of a movie at a time due to this issue. I have to restart the tv to regain access to the media server.

When the problem happens, the tv does *not* lose connectivity to the internet - watched Hulu & Netflix easily for a couple of hours last night. And the computers on the network do not seem to lose connectivity to the attached storage at all - but they're not using the media server.

I'm wondering if there are any settings that would affect this - set a port? change db location from ram? strictly adhere to dlna standards?

Still having this issue - it's *only* related to the media server. With previous routers, any lost connection to the media server included a complete loss of connection to the router.

Also noticed that the hd light on the router is no longer on, even though the drive is connected & accessible.
