Hi!

I´ve an Asus rt-n18u + 380.59_HGG-FINAL.
I am very satisfied with the performance of this firmware that greatly improves the official firm.

The problem is the CPU load goes up to 100% (or almost) when mounted my USB HDD on the router.
Top command shows that the sambaclient process is the culprit

I have run a health scanner but the problem persists.
The file system is NTFS and I only use the disk for my backups. I tried to disable Smart Sync with the same result. The only thing that works is to remove the HDD.
Upnp media server and minidlna are disabled.

Somebody could help me?

Thank you in advance.
 
Sorry mate but what firmware are you running on your RT-N18U, i just checked and Merlin isnt compatible with that router type model
