Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200 Storage Configuration Shared Folders
Mar 27, 2013
My E4200 storage config (portions of it) does not persist through reboot cycles. We often have to reboot the router because we lose wireless conectivity, and each time we reboot, we lose our mapped drives because the router is no longer sharing the folders and permissions I set up. And in the storage settings, my shared folder setup looks like factory default (sharing only root /) after each reboot. Those settings do not persist. I have to restore my router config from a backup after each reboot, which is a real pain. Especially when the kids reboot the router to get their wireless back, but restore is just too complicated for them, and so they call me when they then can not access their network share folders with homework on them.

I have an EA3500 and a Windows Vista PC, connected through wireless. When I transfer data from PC to USB shared storage on the router the speed seems normal while it goes awful when I do the opposite. The average speed goes around 200kb/s to be specific. This is unbelievable as it is year 2013.

Now that the firmware update allows us to plug a printer into the E4200, is there anyway to simultaneously enjoy network storage AND a USB printer?

When I connect my WD My Book Essential 3TB (which is listed as officially compatible with the E4200), I get the following screen:
The E4200 does not detect my hard drive, nor is there a bar saying "detecting".
My problem started when I could not create any new folders through finder. I had to store new files in the root folder. Every time I entered the admin password, I got a message saying I did not have sufficient permission to perform such a task. I then went on to create a new user within the admin group and continued getting the same message. Finally, I formatted the drive directly through my computer and reconnected. And now my HDD is not detected at all.
I have an iMac running OS X Lion. The HDD is question has been formatted to Mac OS extended (journaled).

I have a new E4200 (running FW 1.0.3) and connected a Seagate GoFlex 1TB drive to it. The drive is recognized fine by macs and PCs. However, I find random folders appearing in my mac finder as "alias" and hence innaccessiable. There are a bunch of them scattered in random areas. On Windows those items appar as an unrecongnized incon, a 4KB size and Type file with the "archive" option checked under File "Properties". On a mac they appear as kind "alias" with a 4KB size.I also didn't notice any particular oddities with the directory name (I.e no special chars). I tried renaming them and that didn't fix it.

I have the e4200 v2. I had a hard drive attached to the router. When I try to add files to folders on the drive, sometimes I can add files and sometimes I can't. It is a folder by folder basis. I can't seem to change any security setting that will let me add files to certain folders on the drive attached to the e4200 v2.

if Linksys will be increasing the size limitation of the E4200 USB storage devices? Will the next firmware allow larger drive sizes? I only bought the thing to share via the router my digital content that is stored on an 8TB external device. What is the perpose to the limit in the first place? Is this a hardware or software limitation of the device?

i have a newly formatted (i.e. empty) 2TB WD my book elite which when i connect it to my computers usb port, can transfer a 6gb video file at over 100MB/s according to the win 7 detail box. However, when i connect it to the usb port on the back of the e4200 and try to transfer the same file, it only goes at 8MB/s max ... it appears to be going at usb 1 speed. i've got the latest firmware on both the e4200 and the my book 1111 and everything seems to be working fine for both, except this transfer rate when connected to the e4200.granted, cisco doesn't specifically list this drive as being tested, but the router does recognize it and shows it as usb 2.0, but yet the transfer speed is just too slow.8MB/s is just not workable...i could just connect the drive directly to the computer and share it that way, but connecting it to the e4200 was one of the reasons i bought the e4200.

I have been having issues with my home network since upgrading my router from a WRT54GS to an E4200. Prior to this I had no difficulty in accessing my home group or my home network. I have 2 laptops, both are running Windows 7 Ultimate, one is x64 and one is x32.
Laptop 1 (x-64) can access my home network in all its glory ONLY wirelessly...plug in the Ethernet cable and I can't access laptop 2 or my network storage...Laptop 1 is also unable to join my homegroup even after deleting the old one and creating a new one.
Laptop 2 (x-32) can access my home network in most of its glory ONLY wired...unplug the Ethernet cable and I can't access my network storage and it becomes unavailable to Laptop 1 over the network. Laptop 2 is also not able to connect to Laptop 1 even though Laptop 1 can (sometimes) access files from Laptop 2's shared folders.
Also Laptop 2 cannot see a home group created by Laptop 1, but can create a homegroup that Laptop 1 can see but CAN'T join.I have run all the trouble shooters that the system throws at me to no avail, they all say that I have an unknown network error that it can't fix.I do have internet access on both laptops regardless of wired or wireless, and I spent over 2 hours with Cisco "senior" tech support only to be disconnected and realize that they had no clue about this new router..

I just bought an e4200 with firmware version 2.0.36 from Costco.I have set it up manually and have access to the internet for all of my wired and wireless devices.Unfortunately, I cannot access the USB storage via mounting a share, the media server or the FTP server. I have plugged in a USB storage device that is formatted with FAT32. The router detects it and allows me to create new shares in the Storage->Disk menu and Storage->Media Server menu - so I know it can read the device and see the folders. Strangely if I click "Scan All" in the Media Server, it finishes very quickly and never updates the "Last scanning time" field.There was a brief moment when the router showed up in the Network->Computer section of File Explorer, but I can't get it to show here again.

Recently installed an E4200 router to an MacPro following the setup as directed by Cisco Connection (connect Ethernet to router and then computer to router.) The wireless and the hard-wire connectivity works fine with accessing the internet. However, we have lost the ability to connect to other computers on our LAN via the Shared folder connection. This is usually accessed via the Sidebar (see image)
However with the E4200 in the mix, all we see is the router per its "given name" (what it was named on installation). I have tried to follow the advice mentioned in other threads, such as "Can't access network shares with E3000" and nothing worked-- and those threads seemed to apply to Windows and PCs anyway.

If I were to take a e4200v2 and use it as an access point (disable DHCP), would the USB port connected to a Hard Drive still function as network storage?

I get about only 500 KB/s for accessing files (as a network drive), regardless of the size of the file (even full 4GB iso)If I watch a video via media server however I get around 3MB/s.My firmware is currently on 1.00 and I am not upgrading due to the notorious media server problem.

I have created a share (entire partition) on my external hard drive, which is connected to my E4200 router. The connection to the share is \192.168.1.1ExHDOn the hard drive I've got a folder called "Mijn muziek" (Dutch for My music). So when i go to \192.168.1.1ExHDMijn muziek, the content of the folder is shown. The weird thing is, I can rename the folder, but i cannot add anything to the folder or remove anything from it. I can add files to other folders on the hard driveAnother thing I don't understand is that his folder shows up as "Music" when I create the share.Music is not a folder on the hard drive, but when I go to \192.168.1.1ExHDMusic, i'm in the "Mijn muziek" folder.I have the exact same problems with the folders "Mijn documenten" (shown as Documents) and "Mijn afbeeldingen" (shown as Pictures). Why i don't have write access on the Mijn muziek folder? And how I can manage to get write access on it?

Region : NewZealand
Model : TL-WR1043ND
Hardware Version : V1
Firmware Version : 3.13.12 Build 120405 Rel.33996n
I've plugged in a USB flash drive and enabled shared storage on my TL-WR1043ND router. With "Access shared storage with password" unticked, I can access the share using both my Windows 7 Laptop and Motorola Defy+ (with ES File explorer) and successfully play any Music off of the network share using the Android App, ES File explorer.
If I enable "Access shared storage with password" and attempt to log in using any of the user accounts I've set up on the device, I will be able to access the shares using the credentials on my Windows 7 Machine, but not with my Motorola Defy+, instead I will simply receive "Login failure". I'm Picking it has something to do with the network share type?

I've networked 2 PCs both on xp, one home one pro, through the router/modem. I get an error message saying contact your system admin when I try to read shared folders on the home from the pro version - I am the admin! The other way works fine.

Some of my colleagues went away for holidays. When they came back, all 4 of them can't access the shared folders on the server. They could before they went away but now they can't.They can access the internet through the network however and other colleagues including me can access the same shared folders.It is a QNAP server NAS version 2.3.0 Build 0825T,The problem users run Vista and one XP. I have checked that all users are still granted permission to view the shared folders and they are.I can't understand why it would not work for them but work for us...

In the past both of my Dell Laptops running Windows 7 via a router and belonging to HOMEGROUP, have been able to share files back and forth - with the ability to read/write. All of a sudden, one of the laptops (call it #1) was not able to find the shared files of the other laptop (call it #2.) However it worked the other way (#2 could find #1). I did all kinds of research, checked they both still belonged to the Homegroup, sharing was "on", discover network was "on", permissions were "full", etc.
I couldn't get anything to work - when I saw a suggestion that I sign off the Homegroup on both computers, set up a new Homegroup, and try again. I did this and still didn't have any luck - then decided to reboot both laptops.now I have sharing between both computers. BUT - on Computer #1 - the shared folders are like doubled. I have 4 libraries that are shared - Documents, Music, Video, Pictures, and the listed are all the 6 folders that I made sure were set to sharing - but Documents, Pictures, Music, are duplicates of the "library". I'm afraid to change any settings for fear that I'll lose what I finally gained. So my questions is - how can I clean this up so libraries and individual folders are not both shown?

Let me start off by saying both computers are running Windows 7 Pro x64, both have file and printer sharing turned on, use 128-bit encryption, password protected sharing is off and Windows manages homegroup connections.
Computer A cannot access its own or others shared network folders through the network icon on the desktop, I get the message "Windows cannot access \Computer-AMy Documents" and if I try to access Computer B it gives me "Windows cannot access \Computer-B". Computer B can access Computer A through the network with no problems. The folders have had the permissions set to Everyone.

I have a two computers under the same workgroup.
ComputerA - Windows XP SP3
ComputerB - Windows Vista
I shared a folder on computerA and I am able to access it from computerB. The problem is I want to set permissions for the users of computerB on this folder. Under 'Sharing and Security' -> Permissions, I am unable to change the location. It always shows only computerA. How can I change the location to computerB so that I can set different permissions for users of computerB.

I have a HP laptop which is shared on my network using the Windows 7 Homegroup settings. I have set up the homegroup to share the media files.
Laptop:
HP DV7TSE/Core i7/8 GB/2x320GB HDDs Wirelessly connected to my home network
Network streaming devices:
Sony BDP-S570 Blu Ray Player
WDTV Live
Both connected through LAN to the router
In my Laptop homegroup & sharing options I have only shared the music, video, & pictures folders. I have set the D drive (separate HDD) as not to be shared.However, when I am browsing the folders on the streaming devices it shows some folders of my D drive which don't even exist anymore. Initially when I set up the drive D drive was visible. However I later changed the settings to unshare the D Drive.

I have two laptops(Win7x64 Home Premium) and a desktop(Win7x64 Professional)set up to use Homegroup. I can access each computer from the other, however, the desktop folders that are set to Specific Person under shared can not be accessed by either laptop; public folder is ok. I am using Live ID on all three computers. I tried to add the folders to the libraies that I can access and I still can not access them. However, the odd thing, to me anyway, is if I use Explorer and type the Desktop address I can access the folders.
