WAG320N USB

I recently bought a WAG320N, mainly for faster networking speeds and the ability to attach a USB hard drive to my network.

The only problem is that I have little idea how to get this network storage thing to work. Cisco did not really provide documentation on how to work it.

So far I have connected a HDD and formatted through the interface on the Internet router, without any problems at all.

But, after doing that I have no idea how to access my hard drive on the network.

I guess it will automatically appear on my network for me to have free access.

Did I miss something? I must also stress that I am on a Mac only at home, without a PC.

Thank you very much.

Hello again, well managed to talk briefly on the live chat on the Cisco support page.

Finally got the answer to my problem, even if it's not as obvious as it seems at first.

These instructions are for Mac users.

I'll go through the basics:

-Take your stick of hard/USB drive and plug it.

-Connect to the address of the router in your browser 192.168.1.1

-Follow-up of your user and password. (Click on should add to keychain to make life easier)

-Then click the storage tab.

-Format your drive to the exact size of the drive. (I find tedious partitions if I leave it just like a single segment, we Mac users are accustomed to him.)

Example:

Once the disc was picked up by the router, click on the format button.

The router said that size of the drive is 57 216 MB, so I copy that number in the text box of partition 1, check the partition 1. The hit 'apply '.

This bit should not take long.

Stepping in the name of the hard disk after formatting, you will need later.

-At this point, the router should of done more tedious bits.

-Under the storage tab there should be a little administration, click that.

-To the button of the page must be a Section of the user management.

-I suggest adding some users to the list of users to make life easier when connecting. I was doing the characters in the user name of the user account from my mac. I.e. "scruffydoo", name and surname so implemented. Then add a different password than my computer for security reasons. (You can do cela for all Macs on your network.)

-Once you have done this click the create"" button.

Strawberry is very well done. On the Mac.

-In the finder, click the menu drop-down "go".

-Then select 'Connect to server' or press command-K

-Under "server address", type "smb://192.168.1.1/". Then add the name of the hard drive gave him this router. You can find it on the tab of the shared folder storage.

-If the resulting address would look like this "smb://192.168.1.1/HDD_1_1/".

-Click on the '+' to save for later, then click 'connect '.

-L' computer will then ask you a user and a password.

-Just type the user name that you added on the router, which should be the same as your username on your mac. Makes life easier, if all goes well.

-Type the password you chose on the router. That is scruffydoo and the password would be dingleberries.

-Everything is done, you have plugged into the HDD on your router.

Remember that next time you want to connect, go to the 'Go' drop-down list and select 'Connect to server' you double-click book marked address of the server.

From here you can start adding bits to the address.

I never liked see the HDD_1_1 name in the finder, so I added a folder on the drive, as 'Storage', then in the 'Connect to server' address bit typed in "smb://192.168.1.1/HDD_1_1/Storage".

Hope that helps!

  • Disconnect USB Wag320N

    I bought a Monday wag320N
    Not that impressed with the signal strength wireless - whereas it is better than my 2003 D-Link, but it wasn't.

    Also, the wireless signal varies a lot...

    I tried different channels and currently set to CH1

    Also, the USB hard drive I put in place using the MediaServer as my Media Player of House - continues to fall in offline mode, this would be normally resolved by a firmware update - but as it is so new I have the latest version of the software.
    When the USB decreases, the management of storage - shows like format, so I safely remove, then it displays as deleted, I cannot then the device to refresh and recognize the hard drive again, with a complete switch power switch so that it can review the reader...

    Hope that a firmware upgrade will fix the USB problem

    Updating my situation...

    I had the same problem, with the variant signal from 1 Mbps to 54 (max for my 4 G laptop computer, connected)

    I had to keep switching the router power switch

    in any case

    I got a replacement yesterday - and what a difference - I also noticed that on the wireless setup, how it worked was different and more to how I expected to work in the first place

    On the OLD - on the 2.4 MHz range - when I chose Standard 20 Mhz - wide sleep channel selection on and I had to play with the time dropdowns to change wireless channels wide and Standard

    NOW on the new (although the number of series is older) and select Standard 20 MHz - wide drop works by and the drop down menu standard shows all 13 channels

    Carried out on all laptops speed was also a constant 54 Mbps

    I also use the media center with a 1 TB hard drive attached

    It would hang if listening to music stopped wireless, it would only show about 4 songs before we stop or even jump to the next song...

    I know that you have changed once already - but I would change once again...

    I was also disappointed with the Linksys technical support options to replace, had a very cordially chat sessions a few this performance before they agreed to replace - as they have expected me to pay port fees to replace a defective item, they provided, I will not buy or their recommendation again.

    Most of the companies I have dealt with Amazon, etc. all have to pay for the return postage...

  • WAG320N and USB storage device

    How storage works with a WAG320N device via USB if I use a Ubuntu 10.04/10.10 and al?

    Makes it look like an FTP site or can I just use it as a shared folder accessible if the normal folder directory structure from any machine on the network.

    Does anyone have a screenshot of the tab of storage of the Linksys firmware like that sometimes helps them to understand the limits and capabilities.

    Thank you

    You can simply use it as a shared folder accessible from any machine in the network.

  • wireless client cannot see wired - WAG320N

    Hello

    my modem/router WAG320N works fine but the wireless client cannot see wired and vice versa. they are in the same network (192.168.0.), using the same 255.255.255.0 mask, same workgroup firewall and Yes to enable all packages in and out. IP addresses are DHCP form.

    Internet sharing works fine, but when im trying to play any game on LAN wireless clients peuvent see their car but not wired. when im trying to client ping wireless from a wired machine it does not either.

    What is intresting in a DHCP reservation or the ARP table (in router configuration) I can see cable and wireless customers. but still they do not see each other.

    help pls!

  • WAG320N FTP server not accessible from the internet.

    I had a problem with my WAG320N for quite awhile.

    I add a hard drive 1, 5 TB usb port and I can access to the LAN.

    Now I want to take a step further and be able to access it from the outside.

    I enabled the FTP server and Internet access.

    I was play within the parameters of safety etc. but with no luck

    Why you changed the ip address of the router to 192.168.1.2. ?

    Try to update firmware of the router. After upgrading the firmware, reset the router and re - configure from scratch. Now, simply activate the FTP server on the router and check.

  • WAG320N 'Current time' value ' 01/01/2000 00:13:02.

    Hi all

     

    I use ' WRT54GC Firmware Version: 1.01.6 "like"PPPoE"connected to the internet and ' DHCP Server: » Enable. And "WAG320N Firmware Version: V1.00.12" "Bridge only Mode" and "'DHCP relay", and have a USB 500 GB drive HARD home. "

     

    It came to my attention that any file I have created on the USB HDD get creation date stamp in on 01/01/2000

     

    Is there a way to get the WAG320N 'Current time' at the exact time?

     

    (WRT54GC which is connected to the internet, he pulled his correct 'current time')

     

     

    TIA

     

    # This is not possible. In fact you should not even able to access the USB on the WAG. The WAG in Bridge mode is basically a modem and it should be not accessible by any IP address... I would suggest that you configure the WAG as a router and the WRT as access point...

  • USB disabled after the update of the Sierra (a short circuit and a work)

    Hi, when I bought my mbp 13 inches mid2012 (used, not new) I noticed that a USB port did not work. In the Yosemite sometimes I noticed that a USB port consumed too much energy and have been disabled. (I think because the usb port has been short-circuited. Year when it was time to update the mbp to El Capitan I had a few panic the kernel and the newspaper was shown as the last driver loaded the USB driver, so I kept the mbp with Yosemite. A few days ago, I updated for Sierra but only usb which used to work stopped working. It has enabled and turned on but Finder and disk utility does not see the drive. In an Apple dealer they said that could be established relationships with some oxide and next week will take it and see what the problem is.

  • New Audio USB Interface lose sound on El Capitan

    Hi all!

    A few weeks ago that I upgraded my MacBook Pro retina 15 "end 2013 to El Capitan, after that my USB Audio Interfaces (Focusrite Scarlett 2i4) and Safire 6 USB stopped working properly. Both work correctly when they are connected to an iMac 5K running the same operating system.

    I can listen to Audio for some time (about 10-2 Minutes, it is always different), when the Audio starts to crush und get outs, after a certain time there is only silence "click on" come out of the speakers.

    I already tried to reinstall OS X (starting with CMD R and reinstall OS), reset PRAM and SMC. Nothing has changed the question. Any ideas where it comes from?

    Greetings

    It is most likely a software conflict. Note the time at which audio is running out. Open the Console and look for accidents or mistakes at this time.

    The reason why it crashes on a mac, but not the others most likely is related to differences in software installed. Run Etrecheck on touch mac and post the report here.

  • Crash when disconnecting USB connected to the Steinberg UR-22

    Updated for Sierra recently.

    When I unplug my Steinberg UR-22 by the USB port, the operating system crashes instantly and restarts.  EVERY TIME.

    I plug/unplug often and have never had this problem until the Sierra.  I use my Air for labor and for the game, so he forces me to move to and from the Office to Home Office... or around the House.

    Any suggestions?

  • USB charger - 29W C - compatibility with 12.9 "iPad Pro

    I'm looking for an answer as to if the USB - C 29W charger is compatible with the iPad to 12.9 "Pro. I know this question has been asked and answered by the communities in the past, but when I went to the Apple Store to buy the charger today, the staff told me that the charger could damage my battery over time. I then started a support chat session to confirm the answer and the representative said (and I quote) "If 2 people advised me not to do something, I would not even waste my time." We could care less if you want to damage your unit. »

    First of all, I never got a rude responses to Apple, so it was a surprise. Secondly, I really just trying to get an answer to the question. Can anyone (especially Apple) help out me? Thank you!

  • Can I create a recovery bootable USB through disk utility?

    My HARD drive is dying, I can't access my Macintosh HD partition anymore and I can't reinstall OS because I SMART errors. Before the format and reinstall the attempt to load slow my computer, random errors, etc. So I definitely think that the HARD drive is near death. My plan is to replace my HDD for a Virgin SSD, I perform this task several times on computers of the victory but for MAC, I wonder how I will load the new OS. Can I make a bootable USB with the recovery partition, but on a USB key tools? Unofrtunately I have more available Mac to create the USB bootable through itunes.

    My computer is the MacBook Pro (13-inch mid 2010), I have also all original packaging somewhere, if there is a CD that I can use, I certainly can get too.

    Any advice?

    Thank you!

    Apple have this to do a USB installation...

    Create an installer for OS X - Apple support bootable

    Another option is to use the diskmakerx.com application

    You must have the OS installer downloaded to make these methods of work is probably not practice on your failed drive.

    Both of these options are to run a 'normal' operating system too. The recovery partition is not 'normal '.

    Another option is to use the Internet recovery mode if your Mac supports...

    Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery - Apple Support

    On macOS recovery - Apple Support

    Use wired ethernet for best results, since it will download a bootable OS & then download the installer of the OS also.

    I suspect you have the update of the firmware installed to add this feature if it has been updated over the last 3 years

    You may be able to generate a score of alternative recovery to another disk (such as a USB key) If you want to just "compensation of base OS.

    OS X: on Recovery Disk Wizard - Apple Support

    A last solution would be to clone your drive failing on an external drive (or use the new SSD in a proper case). That can be done in the modes of recovery via disk utility. Basically, you use a feature to "restore" to clone one volume to another. (I don't see clear instructions for the moment so ask if you want to pursue this option).

  • Connection keyboard and mouse USB Wired stall

    Hello

    My computer repeatedly interrupts the connection to my Wired USB mouse and keyboard.  Usually around one every 30 seconds, the connection falls for 1 to 1.5 seconds, then comes back.  Meanwhile, the cursor hangs - I can't click anything, and I can't press any keys on the keyboard.  For example - when I type, I have my keyboard will stop working for a while, and no text will appear.  This is particularly problematic when I play games.

    I tried to reboot the computer, reset the SMC and the mouse and keyboard.  I also tried all USB entries on my mac (4 in total), and the problem persisted with each of them.  This leads me to believe that it is either a problem with all the USB inputs, or a software problem.

    I have an iMac 27 inches, mid-2011 with OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 (specifications: 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 processor, 16 GB with 1333 MHz DDR3 memory and storage capacity of 2 TB).

    I use a wired USB (Logitech G402) mouse and keyboard USB Wired (Razer BlackWidow Stealth).  I have the latest version of Logitech Gaming Software and Razer Synapse installed for support.

    I would appreciate help.

    Check if there are updates available driver.

    To check if the problem is with the USB to your Mac controller, test with a different keyboard or mouse.

    To check the extensions conflicts, etc., try the startup mode.

    -----

    Restart in Safe Boot mode by holding down the SHIFT key at startup. Secure boot is quite slow because the operating system performs some cleanup and verification tasks, so give it time. Once you're completely connected, restart normally.
