Ok so i am going to be installing a new ac5300 to replace my rt ac 66u_b1
Now i have a 4TB WD red drive in a 3.0 enclosure plugged into the USB 3.o port and setup as a NAS
it took me lots of fiddling to get this drive to work in windows , drive mapping and all
i found out that the drive is only able to be recognized and read from the router and not if i plug it into my PC
so what will happen when i upgrade the router?
can i just plug this drive in to the new router and expect it to work?
and if not and i have to enable the samba share and reset that up on the new router then can i expect the drive to be seen the same way in windows again or am i going to have to remap the drive in windows again?
it took me weeks to get the NAS to work and now i have files on it i need access to and i can not have the aggravation of trying to setup the drive again and have it not work or even worse get reformatted
so is there any procedure to make this as painless as possible? has anyone here been through this process before?
