Linksys Wireless Router :: E3000 - Unable To Write Files To USB Hard Drive

Jul 22, 2012

I bought a seagate USB hard drive today from Target.  Its a 2TB and I was going to use it via USB attached to my router.  I connected it and the Linksys firmware detected it and I was able to create the appropriate folders on the drive for storage through the linksys GUI.My issue is that I am now trying to move my movies and tv shows over to the drive and it isn't allowing me to do that. 
 
I get an error message that says "You don't have access to //myshare.  contact your administrator".
 
I'm not sure why I was able to create folders on this drive but am unable to move files to it.  Makes no sense to me.  Write permission is write permission no?My machine which currently stores the media files is windows7 utimate.  The router is E3000 using up to date stock firmware.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E3000 Hard Drive Doesn't See Some Files

Jul 31, 2012

I recently copied files to my hard drive that was connected directly to my computer (via USB).When I connected the disk back to E3000 the files were missing. I connected it back to PC directly and verified the files are there.My PC runs Windows 7 Enterprise.Why can't I see files copied via local connection when I connect the disk to E3000.I carefully compared the permissions with files that I can see just fine and there is no difference - same permissions, same owner.I also get all kinds of permission errors when I try to delete a files from the network drive.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E3000 USB Hard Drive Media Server - How To Get Files

Jan 1, 2011

I just installed this router and connected the hard drive (Western Digital 1TB) which worked fine at first.  When I moved some movie files to another folder they lost all of their data. The file names are still present, but all the media files show zero bytes and are no longer usable.  Is there anyway to get these files back? I have been digitizing all our movies to the tune of about 90GB. What could be going on here?  I disconnected the HD from the router and plugged directly into the laptop.  Still shows the file names, but each file is still at zero bytes.  Not a cool way to have a media server for your house!

Linksys Wireless Router :: Set Torrent Download To Write Directly To The USB Drive On E3000?

Jan 7, 2011

If I try to set a torrent download to write directly to the USB drive on my E3000, it only works for a few minutes (at low speeds) and then I lose access to the drive and the torrent stops. I can access the drive again less than a minute afterwards.
 
It'd be handy to be able to write torrents straight to the USB drive instead of having to move the completed files to it after the torrent is finished.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Access SB Hard Drive On E3000?

Jul 10, 2010

I have my router setup fine to the internet, as well as the media server.  I can't figure out how to access the hard drive from my laptop, however.  The manual says put 192.168.1.1 in the address field of windows explorer, but it just gives me the "Setup" page for the router.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Accessing Files On Attached Hard Drive To EA4500

Sep 2, 2012

I have mapped the attached hard drive to my EA4500 on my PC and can access folders and files on my LAN PC.  However, when I come in through the Internet via an iOS device, I can see folders but when I try to enter the folder, all I get is a message that displays "|Folder|Enter Into Folder|Select|.  There is no click-through capability other than "Return to Upper Folder", which takes me back to folders.

D-Link DIR-655 :: Installing Files In The Root Directory Of Mac Hard Drive?

Apr 4, 2011

This is troubling and I don't know why it is happening. For some odd reason files seemingly related to my DIR-655 are being put in the root directory of my hard drive on my Power Mac G5 running Leopard 10.5.8. Two preference files and a folder named ''D-Link'' and another folder named ''Shareport.''Why is this happening? I have given D-Link/DIR-655 no access to my hard drive.Furthermore, why this is only happening on that machine while my MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.7 is not being ''invaded.''

Can Transfer Files To External Hard Drive And Stream Data Over 5 Hz Signal

Jul 8, 2012

I am going back to college and I will need a router. Both my roommate and I were on the same router went over our bandwidth usage a number of times last year. I've done a bit of research and have come up with a few options: Asus rt-n56u, netgear wndr 4500, and the apple airport extreme. Both my desktop and laptop pc so I'm not sure if that effects the outcome. I am going to need a usb port for an ext hdd, which all of them have. All of the routers have a 5hz signal for better streaming. Would I be able to use the apple airport? It seems the have the best reviews. But I question the compatibility and some of the reviews due to possible fanboyism. Also, If I connect my desktop to the router via a crossover cable and have an ext hdd hooked into the router can I transfer files to the ext hdd and stream that data over a 5 hz signal?

Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200 USB Hard Drive Network Visibility

Nov 4, 2011

I have an E4200 with a 500GB WD hard drive attached to the USB port.  I also have 3 computers on the network named "THINK", "PC", and "DELL". THINK is mixed Wired and Wireless - depending on what I'm doing - Win7 Professional, DELL is plugged into a Range Extender. (RE1000) - WinXP (This one isn't as important: It's an older machine) PC is always hardwired. - Win7 Ultimate, Recently, THINK has unable to see DELL, OR even the HD connected to the router, but it can see PC.  It can also see the HD as a media device - just not as a computer or device I can browse as it does on PC.However, PC can see everything:  THINK, DELL, AND the HD and can access them all the way I would like it to be. Also - MY PS3 DOES see the Media Share and can access it. Edit:  Also just discovered both internal and external FTP no long works. Why can't THINK see the HD connected to the router regardless if I'm wired or wireless?  As far as I can tell, all the settings are identical on both THINK and PC. Is there a router setting I'm missing?  IPV6 is disabled and I've treid the basic disabling of HOMEGROUP and anything that goes with it - but nothing yet.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E1550 Can't Access NTFS Hard Drive

Sep 18, 2011

I had previously posted about problems with the E1550 not being able to recognize NTFS formated hard drives.  After multiple retries and reformats I was finally able to get it to work and was able to backup my system files to that NTFS hard drive.
 
Now, little more than a  week later I setup to run my backup to run again and once again the E1550 is not accessing the hard drive.  The same one it had previously acknowledged and allowed me to save to.
 
The E1550 sees that there is a hard drive out there but all it says is "Detecting..."  this does not change.
 
I need this to be fixed and stay fixed.  If it is going to do this every time I turn on the drive to do weekly backups, then I need to get a different wireless router.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200 Seems To Die When Mounting External Hard Drive

Jan 20, 2012

I have realized that E4200 V1 I have, with 1.03 firmware, seems to be dying when I reboot it and it tries to load the USB HD I have connected to it. By die I mean the web server does not work anymore (http://192.168.1.1), and new computers can't connect to the router. I suspect it is due to the amount of files I have in the External Disk Drive -I used to have Media Server enabled, but I disabled it because this problem was happening, and I only left File Server enabled. Now since I moved many of my pictures to it, it seems even File Server is causing problems, and if neither one work for me, then this router does not justify its money, since that was the only reason I bought this E4200 hardware. These problems are solved in V2? Since it is still under warranty, I could try to exchange my V1 for a V2 version.

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA4500 - Media Server With USB Hard Drive

Jan 7, 2013

EA 4500 seems to work fine. Have a Seagate 3 TB HD connecfed to USB. Have LG Smart box connected to EA4500 by Cat5e cable. HD hard drive contents shows and accesses ok on PC via wireless. Smart box showed HD but only media files in "documents" directory, did not show "TV" & "Movies" directories.

Reset Router Media Server Access with "TV" & "Movies" directories - presto LG smarbow showed directories now and worked fine. This morning will no longer show "TV" & "Movies" directories on Smart box. Have tried deleting and resetting Router Media Server Access with "TV" & "Movies" directories several times, no luck.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200 Not Detecting Portable Hard Drive

Jan 5, 2012

My E4200 works beautifully, and was working fine with the Toshiba 500 GB portable drive that I had on it for a week or so. I tried to plug in my WD MyBook Essential (Passed on the list of compatible drives), but the router is not detecting it. Further, when the drive is plugged in, the router stops receiving new wireless connections. Even if I reboot a laptop that was previously connected, it says that that the passkey is incorrect. When the drive is plugged in, I can't even log in to the 192.168.1.1 - it's as if the router creates a firewall around it and refuses every new connection on every port.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Setting Up An External Hard Drive On E4200?

Mar 20, 2011

I just bought a Linksys E4200 from bestbuy tonight, mostly for the feature of plugging my hard drive into it to use it as a media server, and being able to read & write to it from any computer on my network.  I have searched for hours on end trying to fix my problem.  I login to my router (at 192.168.1.1), I go to the storage tab, I then click the "Create Share" button next to my WD hard drive in the list and nothing happens. Ive tried this on four different computers, and three different browsers now to no avail.
 
Some random information:
Computer: Dell XPS 420
Router: Linksys E4200
Hard Drive: WD 1TB

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA3500 Disconnect After Plug In Portable Hard Drive

Mar 6, 2013

I bought an EA 3500 refurbished through linksys. I can't configurate it using the CD-Rom. Always said "can't find your router". So I flash with the classic firmware, and it fixs the problem and automatically upgrade to smart Wi-Fi. That being said, whenever I plug in a portable hard drive, the router disconnect from internet after a minute. I tried my seagate HDD and also my flash driver. Both Lost internet after a minute or so. So I think it is probably the router's problem.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200 Not Recognizing Hard Drive (Seagate 7200)?

Jul 2, 2012

I have a E4200 router, and I had previously plugged in a small external hard drive just to test the functionality. The router seemed to recognize the storage, and the computers on the network could see it as a shared drive. Now I have plugged in a Seagate 7200 internal hard drive inside a Rocketfish enclosure, but the router is not recognizing anything. I just upgraded the firmware to 1.0.04, but there was no change. Are there problems using an enclosure rather than just plugging in an external hard drive?

Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200 No Longer Sees Iomega 1TB External Hard Drive?

Jan 26, 2012

I had an Iomega 1TB External Hard Drive connected to my E4200 router.  I had shares confgured and they were properly running on the network.
 
As of yesterday, this all stopped working. The router does not see the drive; it is as though it is not plugged in.
 
I rebooted the router and it still does not work.  I've connected the hard drive directly to my PC to verify that it works there, and it does. The router is running Ver.1.0.03 (Build 14) of firmware (the latest).

Unable To Set A Hard Drive Partition To Be Shared?

Feb 18, 2013

Two physical drives. Drive 0 has two partitions C and D. C is operating system (XP Pro) and D is data only. Drive 1 has one partition F and is used for internal backup. Drive F can be set to be shared. Partition D on Drive 0 will not accept sharing. It reverts back to the $D admin share after setting up a new share. The icon (hand) that indicates shared drive does not appear either. I assume there is a registry setting that has drive 1 blocked, but am unable to find it.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200 Delete All Files On NAS Drive

Aug 12, 2011

I moved to Comcast internet yesterday (from 3Mbps DSL), and the E4200 seems to be working well (although somewhere along the way it decided to delete all the files on the NAS drive...an issue for another day). On my laptops and wired PCs I'm now seeing 15-20Mbps down, and 4Mbps up. However, when I connect with my iPhone 3GS, I only see about 7.5Mbps down, and 4Mbps up using online speedtests.   I have tried messing with the router settings and resetting all the network settings on the iPhone but nothing changes.   I know my iPhone can handle more, because I get 15Mbps down when I visit family (they have a Netgear N300).  I can only conclude that my E4200 is the cause.
