    Setting up NAS on Linksys router


    Just recently replaced my old Linksys EA6400 router with a new EA8300 router, and going through the config screens, I saw one where I could set up a NAS using a USB stick. So, I inserted a 64GB USB3 stick into the router, formatted it, and created folders on it. The Linksys then saw it and provided instructions for accessing the folders using an IP address local to my network.

    So far, so good.

    But, when I entered that IP address into File Explorer on my desktop in Win10 Pro 64-bit, it popped up an error message about security risks usin g SMB1 (or something like that) and refused to allow me to access the folders.

    And while I have search online and found code I can run to "fix" this, I am at a loss to understand why a brand-new router from a well-known company would insist on using a deprecated feature in order to setup a NAS.

    Also, is it safe to run the code to install SMB1? And, if not, is there any other way for the Win10 PCs to access the folders on the USB stick?

    :)

    Linksys router losing settings

    OK so I've got a Linksys WRT160N V3 router running DD-WRT (build 13309M). I sometimes have to reset the router and modem, since internet access is very unreliable due to some weak signals and such. Everytime I reset the modem, I loose all of my settings. The SSID gets changed back to "dd-wrt", the network becomes unsecured, and any other settings are reset.


    I had to reset them yesterday, and like always my settings were lost. 30 minutes ago I connect to the router with hopes of logging in and changing the SSID, security settings, etc. I cannot log in. I've tried every user name and password combination I can think of with no success.


    My questions:
    • How can I keep from losing my settings when I reset the router?
    • How can I log in to the router to change my settings?

    I just installed a Linksys router and have had nothing but trouble so far. I have a PC laptop with Windows 7 and Linksys is unable to connect to Windows. I have been on with tech support for 3 days now and still do not have the problems solved. Please
    help.

    Setting up NAS on Linksys router

    Nokia 5800 WLAN Mac Filtering Issue with linksys router

    Whitch Linksys are you using? If you enabled IGMP, DHCP and WPA/WPA2, I can only suggest to reset the router and download the latest firmware.
