WRT1900AC external storage and Windows 8.1

I just upgraded this router after that Time Warner gave me a free upgrade to 200 Mbps.

Everything is faster, make more SOON!

My new laptop has got 206 Mbps 5.0 GHz Wireless.

But, the laptop is running Windows 8.1, and I think it is the problem of external storage.

I plugged a USB3 32 GB USB drive and a hard disk of 1 TB in USB1 and USB2, with the same result.

On my desk, I see an icon for the Twonky Media Server and a folder of files to external storage.

On my laptop, I see the Twonkymedia icon, but no folder.

The laptop can music, videos and photos.  But there is no way to access any files outside media.

The Office has a "Home" network, but the Windows laptop 8.1 has a "Private" network

I put the laptop to share and can be transferred back and forth between the two computers.

I don't see this as a case of breakage, but it would be nice to make it work.

I have no experience network Windows 8/8.1.  I'm a fanboy of Windows 7.

Thanks in advance for any help.

To access media files from any computer on your network. Look in the storage of the router section and use the links provided to access the files.

  • 10 improvement of the Windows path hangs on "place the external storage and press OK.

    Hello

    This will be my first post on this forum.

    A couple of weeks ago, I bought a Toshiba SATELLITE CL10-B-103 for my son. The CL10-B-103 has installed Windows 8.1. Tonight I plan to make the installation of the Windows 10 upgrade because Windows 8.1 announced that he was ready for the upgrade.

    The trial progressed slowly but smooth and without problems until now... As the laptop is equipped with only an HD 32 GB the trial upgrade was informed that I had to stick a USB key. After that, the trial continues slowly but smoothly, but who did not question because I had all night. However after the first reboot of the system when he was about 60 or 66% of installation of process this error message showed: place the external storage and press OK. It's very strange since the key USB has been removed at all and was still in the system. It is strange, is that both the OK button as the Cancel button are not selectable. Without passing by the touchpad, not a tab or an entry.

    Some community online Windows 10 post mentions that, via the BIOS, the system must be initiated from this USB key. I tried to reboot the system with DEL, F2 or F8, but I couldn't get into the BIOS and wasn't able to change the boot sequence.

    After each "restart" the same error message appears. It does not matter that the USB is in it or not.

    So, my conclusion is that my CL10-B-103 is suspended/East in a loop. I don't know how to proceed.

    Please, I can really use some help.

    Thanks in advance.

    Because it seems that I can not only edit/change a message I am answering my own post now...

    The problem seems to be resolved. When I was able to use the touchpad I could push the OK butten and the upgrade product now.

  • WRT1900AC - external storage - not detected

    I have an external storage drive is not detected. I can plug in a USB key on the router and have found things. When I plug my external hard drive into the router, I get the name of the drive but the router does not detect the size, and I can't access the drive. The only error I get is on the Media Server tab when I click on add a new folder:

    /jnap/storage/ListSubdirectories -- Status: 200 OK
     Date: Thu, 11 Feb 2016 03:36:53 GMT
     Server: lighttpd/1.4.34
     Connection: close
     Content-Length: 37
     Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
    

    When I contacted Linksys support they said essentially that since my drive hard is not on their approved list, has nothing they will do to help understand why things don't work. I tried to plug my drive into a computer and everything works so I know the drive itself is good. It's just a matter of getting the router also detect the drive. The drive is formatted in NTFS.

    The router says it's firmware is up to date 1.1.10.167514. I tried to reboot the router. The only thing I have not tried yet is a factory reset.

    It solved!

    The only way that I came to this solution was to use Linux. When I tried to plug the drive into a machine Windows the drive appears fine, but when I plugged the drive on a Linux machine and tried to mount it, I got a message saying that he could not climb because of some windows something or other. I think it happened, I had originally this drive in a windows-based Office Tower. I probably throught windows stopped but in reality it is only in hibernation. So the left Hibernate trace settings on the drive after I unplugged and tried to plug it into the router. The solution was to reconnect the drive on the windows machine, make a clean shutdown and then try to plug in the router. Once the router has seen the car and ability. I still had to tell the router to restart so that other computers can access the network share, but in the end, everything works fine.

    I am just posting this in case someone else found this useful if they have they previously used on another computer in the car, do a clean shutdown before attempting to connect to the router.

  • How can I save my apple devices using external storage

    How can I back up all my apple devices using external storage and not iCloud and iTunes

    iDevices are designed only for backup of iCloud or your computer using iTunes.

You can also backup to the cloud for extra protection and convenience.

  • Advice of external storage for use with ESXi 3.5 (free)

    I'm under ESXi 3.5 (free) on a server with internal storage.  I would buy external storage and switch my VM to it.  The virtual machines that I have running on the server are not used very often, so I don't want to put a lot in it.  Can anyone recommend an external SAN/NAS storage device that would work with ESXi 3.5 (free)?  I'm looking for maybe 500 GB - 1 TB connected to the network via Ethernet.

    Less than the price of Iomega devices (the ~ $300 model) are sold to a group of work so not really high performance. If you find that this performance was not acceptable, you'd have no way to improve the system.

    I would like to use your existing NAS NFS features. If this does not work out, you can always go for something with more umph.

    If it is a lab test the Iomega should be fine. If it has an environment that can grow in size requirements and performance over time, you might want to try to build a more powerful Openfiler SAN/NAS.

    First try your existing infrastructure.

  • WRT1900AC of external storage outside the Local network

    I'm trying to set up my WRT1900AC router to access a USB attached as an external storage device. I can access the drive when I'm on the LAN, but I had no success accessing outside my local network. I enabled the FTP option in the section of external storage. With the FTP option is enabled, it then points me to the IP address that my cable modem ISP attributed to the router (192.168.0.2). Obviously this won't work from the outside world because it is not the IPV6 address. I install my modem cable to the port before 21-the 192.168.0.2 address and tried to access from outside by using my address IPV6 (ftp://77.XX.XXX.XX:21) but it will not connect. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction, as I obviously don't do something here.

  • Move all backups and iTunes library to external storage

    Hi all

    My MBP internal SSD is full so I want to move all the data from iTunes to external storage.

    I found how to move the library which was pretty easy.

    How can I move my backup files to iPad and iPhone? It seems to be more difficult to achieve.

    Thanks in advance

    JJ

    Not difficult, read here:

    Manage and backup your iTunes media library - Apple Support

    Two things to remember:

    the first time you open iTunes after move your library: hold down the ALT (option) and iTunes point to where you put the library on the external drive. iTunes will remember that.

    When you want to use iTunes to make sure that this disk is attached.

  • Best practices for storage and backups on internal and external drives

    Hello

    I have a Mac laptop and I would like your advice on how to organize the storage of files on internal and external drives and how optimizes it the backup plan.

    From now on, my organization of file storage is:

    I keep my most important files on the internal disk of SSD encrypted and less critical files on an encrypted external drive (format ExFAT). This external hard drive was errors, so I bought a new Laetitia 2 Tb drive that I formatted in Mac OS journaled with encryption instead of ExFAT, to replace.

    For backups, I do not use Time Machine, but I use an application that synchronizes files between two disks. By using this application, I first sync the essential document on the SSD files internal to the external drive, and then I synchronize all the external drive to another external drive.

    My question is, if I keep this Organization of file storage or I should, for example just move all my files, critical and non-critical for the internal SSD (I could make enough room for that) and then backup up the whole Mac with Time Machine? Or there is a better way to organize files in this scenario?

    The second question is, if it is better to keep the Organization as it split storage (internal, less critical on external criticism) is what would be the best way to back up everything?

    Thanks in advance for all contributions.

    First of all, to the ExFAT is the problem, I suggest that the reader will just physically hurt.  ExFAT is perfectly acceptable as a format where Mac and PC can read/write.  You may have reacted a little leaving ExFAT for HFS, but you have made your choice and adapts to it.

    Here is how I operate my backups:

    I use CCC (CarbonCopyClone, $40, bombich.com).  It copies the boot sectors, drive, mapping, recovery Partition (these three are 'invisible' to DiskUtility for most) as well as system partitions and data records 'other'.  These other disks may be internal for clone-to-test-new-OSX in multi-disc systems or external for backup purposes.  The beauty is that you can start an external clone in a system crash, then CCC will be re - copy the active external clone on a new/fixed internal drive.

    Encryption isn't something I know, but... If only the content of the system partition and data is encrypted, it * could * be OK for clone-back to partition-as-encrypted partitions.  If you clone internal external the external partition is active and copy the 'encrypted plan', while small adjustments are made so that the race could be bad.  Copy of the files on my partitions unencrypted change interrupt because they are individual files.

    As an alternative, you could have a system drive that does CCC charge, let the clone encrypted and encrypted internal idle and just copy the entire map with the 'third system' active.

  • Mac Pro, Flash Storage, Dropbox, and external storage Solutions

    I am considering a Mac Pro to a computer in the enterprise. I hope someone can give an overview and experience with the dilemma of using a computer with a small amount of storage on board, dropbox and external storage devices.

    Background:

    Mac Pro storage on board - The Mac Pro has limited onboard storage. It comes with a 256 k flash memory and is apparently expandable to 512 or 1 TB. But, I can not even know where to buy the storage upgrade. For some reason, it seems even to be available for purchase on Apple's site. I can't understand how much it costs or where to buy it. I found a link showing how to install it, but that's all.

    Dropbox - Dropbox is an important part of the company, or at least my business. The tricky thing is that Dropbox doesn't seem to work very well if this does not work on an operating system main hard drive. I tried once on a Mac Mini Server, and it does not work well. I read on the Dropbox site that it doesn't work so well. The small amount of storage on board available for the Mac Pro means that it is necessary to use an external drive, which is fine with me, with the exception of the question of Dropbox. Is anyone here from an experience with this problem.

    External storage - the question here is as stated above. How to get an external drive on a Mac Pro, the operating system is not installed on, to work properly. I know that most people could read this and suggest to go to the website of Dropbox support for more information. I was able to do that and have nothing. Looking for Mac people who could potentially experience.

    In short, how the hell you upgrade Mac Pro flash storage... where do you get, and how much it costs?  And second, anyone experience using Dropbox on a Mac Pro, where the Dropbox folder is not located on the operating system drive.

    Thanks for any help that can be provided.

    -Apple does not sell to replace internal storage.

    -You can often find storage on eBay and other places. However, isn't that all in storage for some MacBook Pro model will work in the Mac Pro is much slower. One way to tell is that the MacBook you do not have a heatsink on them while the Mac Pro.

    -You can buy external storage Thunderbolt. To access only a disc both an external case USB 3/disc is about as fast as Thunderbolt. Can get pregnant using the portable 2 1/2 standard SSD

    -I did not all the posts here for the use of DB on an external drive.

  • USB port - C Dell XPS 13 9350 and external storage

    Hello everyone,

    I have a 3.1 USB enclosure external (Vantec Nexstar USB 3.1, model # NST - 270a 31 - BK) that I connect to the USB - C (Thunderbird 3) of my XPS 13 laptop 9350 port.  The player does not start even after using two different 3.1 USB cables.  I installed all the USB drivers and Thunderbird from the Dell Web site and active port in the BIOS, but still have no chance to get the player to run.

    That's when I plug the player into a standard USB port with a USB 3.0 cable, boots road to the top and is recognized by the laptop without problem.  So if my diagnosis was made correctly, the USB box and wiring is not defective, so the problem must lie with the USB - C port.  Has anyone successfully used port USB - C to access the external storage with a bit of luck?

    See you soon,.

If you go to the options of the advance of the WiFi adapter and change the WiFi output at 75%, this solves a lot of problems with the connection / disconnection of USB - C questions.

    As you reinstalled just Vistas, you would have a very limited number of Restore Points!

    Try the system restore.

    If this does not work, and you don't know what you were doing, reinstall it again.

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

    Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...
