WD Elements 2 TB + E4200 = HD always turn on

I just bought the E4200 (version 1 of material) and I couldn't be more happy about it. A router with amazing features.

I plugged my WD Elements 2 TB, set up my media and FTP server, and everything works fine.

My only concern is on the light HD which is always on, even when no access to it. I disabled the Auto search option, but the HD still seems to be reading something...

When this HD was plugged into my computer the light was on for access only.

Is it OK? I mean, isn't something that will decrease the lifespam HD? Is there a way to tell the E4200 do not access the HD when no one uses it?

Thank you!

Hard disk light indicates both power as well as its consecutivite that it is connected to the router, the light is constant indicating that his power immediately and also connected to the network.

A continuous flashing light can be a matter of concern. Light of HD is on and steady when you are connected to a router has no connection to the life expectancy of the HD it only indicates that the drive is active and that it is ready to be accessed. It depends on the router you are using if it recognizes the HD all the time its connected or only when it is available.

    Hello.

    I have a problem with the wireless card Intel pci mini. I installed in the connector mini pci and connected the 2 wires. I also installed drivers and software to Intel. But the connection is always available. I changed the wireless switch located on the left side of my toshiba, but said software, the hardware radio switch is off.

    Thanks for any information

    Please first check that when you the physical switch turn on wireless communication, you should also somewhere (probably near the switch) see an orange light.
    If this isn't the case, then there is something wrong.

  • Pavilion 2210 I is always turn off

    Hello.

    Have a problem with the monitor 2210 i, Windows 7 64-bit system.

    the monitor has always worked well, but the other day started to turns off automatically after approx. 3 seconds. I can view the desktop on vga and dvi, but after 3 seconds, turns off the coast.

    No message warning and when I go to turn back and reappears very well again, the monitor image lights, but then turns off again within 3 seconds. T may even change the settings of the monitor.  Tried another power supply cable, both vga and dvi, and it's the same thing.

    tried an old samtron monitor and it works fine. Can you help me in this one Pls

    Hello

    Well, you tried 2 different connectors type video, DVI and VGA and sometimes both, as you have not replaced the power cable so no that much remains to be done.

    You can try to connect the LCD monitor to a laptop or another computer with another card video just to check if the same happens. Don't turn it off the LED or past to orange? What is the color of the LED when it stop... ?

    It would be good to try a factory reset on the monitor OSD menu, but if the monitor shutsdown by itself, don't know if you can do it, but if you can, try.

    Hello

    To add to thin boards of karena R:

    Here's what I use and recommend:

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with everything I threw at them.
    Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven very reliable and compatible.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except away from Standard, Web and network is working.

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (Sometimes you have to temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom right of IE)

    Avast - stop home - free - all shields you do no need except leave Standard, Web and network running.
    (Double-click the blue icon - details look OK. - upper left Shields - those that you do not cancel).
    http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - Home - small, fast, exceptional CLOUD free protection, working with other security programs. It comes
    a scan only, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something to come back here or use Google to see how to remove.
    http://www.prevx.com/   <-->

    PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever suspect malware, and that would be unusual with
    Avast and Prevx running except a low occasional (not much), updated cookie and then run it as
    a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  • Why an Add - keep it swinging back on Ask to activate when I set it to always turn on?

    So my question of the unit is not resolved, but for some reason, whenever I put it to "Always enable", every time I leave the tab it switches back on 'ask to activate '.

    There is a problem of non-public safety with the Unity Web Player, so temporarily may not be programmed to always enable to avoid untrusted sites using this. I hope that this will be resolved in the next version. However, in the meantime, you can give a site permission using the Plugin notification icon.

    If this is not familiar: when you visit a site that wants to use the unit, you should see a notification icon in the address bar and usually (but not always) one of the following values: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an information bar slides between the toolbar and in the page area.

    The plugin notification in the address bar icon in general looks like a small, dark gray Lego block; It can be red for high-risk plugins.

    If you see a good reason to use the unit, and the site looks trustworthy, you can go ahead and click on the notification icon in the address bar and he approve it. Firefox should then load the player into the page.

  • Why Firefox always turns off "activate" on the plugin Shockwave Flash in Firefox 39

    Impossible to always select "activate" on the Shockwave Flash plugin since the upgrade to Firefox 39 today. I refuse to use this browser if I have to type "Allow and Remember" on every page that contains the flash code. He does not remember preferences, period. Have already rebooted my system, reinstalled Firefox flash and reinstalled twice. I tried uninstalling 39 and install automatically with a 37 talon but he upgraded me at 39

    Flash has been blocked yesterday had to break and actively exploited security vulnerabilities. Please update flash today to be able to use it again.

  • How to enable flash player on firefox to always turn on by default

    So, while browsing the internet and watching flash videos became unresponsive and I stopped and sent the accident report. When I refreshed the videos to buffer again, I was invited to allow flash (Shockwave Player) to run. I never changed this setting to ask to activate before and I did it for me without my consent. When I tried to change that setting back always activate, the option is greyed out so I am not in a position to actually chose this option and continue my day. I'd not have to deal with this, because in my school, flash is heavily used and this has become a very big trouble that I would have corrected. Otherwise I will be forced to stop using Firefox, because it's too much an extra to have hassle to deal with. Also when updated to the latest version of flash player it does not correct the problem.

    Due to a vulnerability declared in the current version of Adobe (https://helpx.adobe.com/security/prod.../apsa15-04.html), Mozilla has soft-blocked the latest version of the Shockwave Flash plugin. Therefore, you must enable on trusted sites to use instead of being able to set Firefox to allow all sites use Flash automatically.

    If you are not accustomed to using the "Request to activate" feature a plugin, here's what to expect:

    When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification in the address bar icon and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an information bar slides between the toolbar and in the page area.

    If you see a good reason to use Flash, and the site looks trustworthy, you can go ahead and click on the Lego-like icon in the address bar to allow Flash. Your choice: for a current or permanent use.

    But the page might be using Flash only followed or playing a video ad. If you do not see an immediate need for Flash, feel free to ignore the notification, it will just sit there in case you want later.

  • always turn off the tabs

    Where can I file a complaint with the changes that have been made with the latest update of firefox? Two problems that I have are the tabs appearing even when there is only one tab open. The second is the url search bar and the search side bar being more able to different search engines. Firefox is on personalization and choice. It is not to force all users to respect the lowest common denominator of the users. I understand that these two changes have deliberately put in place, but it's silly to force these changes on everyone. In all the less make changes the default options, but give people the opportunity. I know programs like to make the default search, but I'm smart enough to deselect the default value. Please don't punish me with unwanted Firefox changes because other people don't know how to customize a browser. Personalization is what I love about firefox. Please give us back the users the ability to customize. I know that this probably isn't the right place for filing such complaints, but I didn't know where else to post. All I want is always stops on the tabs and be able to search google in wikipedia and a bar in the other. Is this too much to ask?

    Starting with Firefox 23 it will be is no longer possible to specify the search engine for the address bar via the keyword. URL pref.

    The search engine used in the address bar Firefox 23 + is the search engine that is selected in the search bar.

  • OnPlus MY port LED not always turned on/active when connected

    I noticed that the port of LUN is not still active despite being connected.

    The port will go completely dead where even a powercycle of the ON100 will not activate the port (eth1 on the device I believe based on of NTOP poster config).  The switch (SLM2008 - v2.0.0.10) show that no device is connected and by moving the ON100 on one another well known port will always appear also died.  Sometimes to put the ports will cause the next LUN interface to life, but not always.

    When it works I have no problem using the mirroring port SLM2008 had with NTOP for obtaining all the expected data however I can't quite trust this configuration yet due to the interface of MY not being always active.

    Suggestions?

  • Morphing one form of mask to another always turns on itself

    Hello

    I tried to take two very basic mask paths (8 vectors) and to pass from one to the other. Whenever I do that (any summits I select as first Summit) they always interpolate by flipping around for the second mask, which makes the effect morphing ridiculous of course. It is not just follow the logical steps to simply make an easy transition, but it all goes crazy and makes a loop on itself, if that makes sense. I looked into using the Interpolation of mask option, but that just seems to create several keys of the same wacky morphing images.  Is it possible to 'say' After Effects to follow just the obvious (or vice versa) is the path to one mask to another, or some kind of script or something to tell him what to do?

    I have also been copy / paste two different masks in Illustrator that I created. One was a simple rounded rectangle that is larger, the second a simple less wide rectangle with corners rounded. I found that when I manually create traces of mask in After Effects, I don't have a problem with the transition from one to the other, but I'd love to be able to copy paste my mask traces where the final forms of the masks have been properly trained. Any help is appreciated!

    There are a couple of things gong here. When you animate a vector path the verticies always travel in a straight line from the first keyframe in the second. The second thing that can happen here, it's that the verticies are numbered starting with the first Summit and the numbering remembers direction in which you went when the path was created.

    I think the first path was drawn in illustrator by clicking in the upper-left corner of the rectangle and the second path was created by the first by clicking in the lower right.
