WRT54GL / Which Router Firmware Supports External Drives / FTP / VPN And BitTorrent
Sep 13, 2011
I have a Linksys WRT54GL Router. I'm open to getting another router if it won't suit my needs.Which firmware should I install?Which version/build of the firmware?Any additional modifications I should make to the firmware?
Requirements:Connect an external hard drive to the router, so that any devices connected to the router can access files from the hard drive.Run an FTP server (with SSH) on the router, so files on the external hard-drive can be accessed from anywhere.Run VPN, so that certain computers can access the hard drives over VPN.Run a BitTorrent client on the router with the files stored on the external hard drive.

Similar to this issue with the EA4500 - I have the same issue with maping the drives from both PC and Mac - the USB drive is recognized, admin/user names are coreated appropriately, the folder structure is imported into the admin control..similar issue with EA4500 user here

Recently purchased an EA4500 router and it is connected to the Internet. One of the reasons we purchased this router was to take advantage of the usb port (only 2.0 unfortunately) to be able to share media across the network. I spent over two hours on the phone (4/16/2012) with Linksys Tech support trying to get this feature to work. When using a little flashdrive I can easily find the connected usb device. However, when trying to connect to an external hard drive, it will not connect. I tried three different external hard drives, a Western Digital 500 GB Elements drive, a Western Digital 2 TB My Book Elements drive and even a portable 1.5 TB Seagate FreeAgent drive. Every drive had the same result. In fact after plugging each one into the EA4500 and then selecting Safely Eject and then plugging them into my computer, each one had to go through the Fix process in order to work again. I tried this several times. Linksys Tech Support could not get it to work either, and they even used remote access. When going into the web interface of the EA4500, the router sees the external drives attached to it. However, only the little 16GB flash drive can be seen by the computer. I know there is a list for approved devices that work with a different device, the E4200 [URL]
It looks like my devices are there but nonetheless its not working. Really not sure why the router can see all of the devices but only the computer can see the flash drive.

The official List of tested USB storage devices for the Linksys E4200 is so short, and the fine print "If your USB storage device is not listed on the table, it is not guaranteed to work with the router" is very discouraging. Let's create the community-based list of tested External Hard Drives for the Linksys E4200? Post here the brand / model of your external hard drive which works well with your E4200. State Firmware version as well. My Toshiba 640GB Canvio® USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive (Toshiba P/N e05a064cau2xr, M/N 593400-b), when connected to E4200 Firmware v1.0.03 (Build 14), stops the router's both wired and wireless connection after a couple of hours.

I am migrating my home network from a desktop centric environment to a mobile centric and taking mydesktop off line in the near future and instead relying on my tablet and laptop computers. I have two external hard drives that are currently connected to the desktop and a printer on the desktop. I believe that I need a NAS adapter and a print sever to connect the drives and the printer to the network rather than to the desktop compuer, which is going away. How then do I identify the drves and the printer when they are directly connected to the network? Is that something I do when I install the NAS adapter and print server?

I used to have an old G5 tower running OS X 10.5 (Leopard) which I was using as a file server. In this tower I had a USB dock connected where I could plug in 2.5 inch drives from my archive and then access them over the network by connecting to the G5.
Last week I upgraded my "fileserver" and I am running OS X Mountain Lion Server on a regular Mac Pro tower. When I connect to my new fileserver via Finder I am only able to see the local hard drives but none of the external ones. I can add a share-point for the external drives but that is not very practical since I am always connecting different drives from the archive.
So what I would like to have is that when I plug in an external drive to my file server it shows up in the network shares without me having to create a share-point for every different drive I connect.

I have several drives that are accessed through a LAN but as soon as I connet to another drive through VPN all the drives get disconnected. According to the IT people this is a feature of VPN for security reasons and there is no way to access those drives.Anyone knows if there is a way to connect to the VPN drive and the local LAN drives without getting the LAN drives disconnected?

I am attempting to setup a wireless access pointand want to deny access to a group of IP addresses. When I go to Wireless, MAC setup, Deny or Allow, and select "Edit MAC Address List" my browser crashes. I have tried this on two different Linux systems and three browsers, Firefox, Mozilla, and Seamonkey.Tech Support tells me to downgrade to Firmware version 4.30.2, the only compiled version available on the Linksys website, but with no way to go back to 4.30.5 if the problem isn't fixed or if worse problems come up I am reluctant to try this fix, The only other suggestion Tech Support offered was to replace my WRT54GL with a WRT54G.

It appears that there is no firmware I can download for my WRT54GL Version 1.1. While it may never have been updated from what the router came with from the factory, it would still be useful to have it available. In my case, I would like to revert the router from the DD-WRT firmware to factory specs.

I flashed my WRT54GL with firmware for a WRT54G and now when I go to the configuration page all I see is this: url...I have tried doing a hard reset by doing the 30/30/30 and by using tftp to try and send the correct firmware. The hard reset does not work and the tftp keeps timing out and not sending anything.

I just bought my DIR-825 from Frys and it came stock with 2.02NA B1 firmware, but everytime I try to update it to 2.03/2.04/2.05/2.06 it errors saying it might not be the same hardware or something on the lines of that. But now when I try to upload it, it just leads me to "192.168.0.1 was interrupted" and can't even get to the error screen now.I'm not too savvy when it comes to routers, especially a D-Link since previously I had a Linksys WRT54GL

Cox Communications comes into the house over an RG6 cable to a a 2-way splitter, one leg amplified for TVs, the other leg straight to a Linksys BEFCMU10 cable modem for internet access. The modem is connected to a Linksys WRT54GL router for the PCs.
BEFCMU10: Hardware Version = v1.0; Software Version = v2.0.2.0.7
WRT54GL: Hardware Version = v1.1; Software Version = v4.30.11
The WRT54GL firmware is stock Linksys code which can log addresses but not errors (as far as I can determine). Is there a WRT54GL firmware lump I can flash into my device that logs network errors it encounters between itself and the BEFCMU10 and that it might be informed of by the BEFCMU10 in its dealings with Cox? I'd want to read that log through the WRT's web UI; ideally I'd want to upload it to my PC. If the firmware logs errors on/from its other ports as well.I need it to sort out what Cox tells me are numerous "modem resets" that they're seeing at their end.The resets are the apparent cause of big slowdowns, we see on our end.By the way, yesterday a Cox tech replaced the 2-way splitter and the short coax from it to my modem, then measured signal strength and said it was in the middle of the "okay range".

I have a Cisco E3000.My roommate is using our internet connection (in fact mine) to donwload on BitTorrent networks. I could block BitTorrents urls, but she could dowload the torrent file from another connection and do the download with my connection. So I forgot that way.I could also block ports... but she could change the ports of the BitTorrent network...

I recently downloaded Deluge and while I can download torrents without a problem, I always have the "NO INCOMING CONNECTIONS' warning. I've tried single port forwarding, port range forwarding, turning UPnP off and on ... in short I've tried a lot of stuff and the only thing that clears the message is to remove the router out of the equation. The message disappears as soon as I connect the pc directly to the modem.

i share internet with my neighbor (we split the bill) and every so often like in the last 2 days, and usually not again for another 3 weeks for 2-3 more more days each time, am not able to browse(ff, chrome, ie) or use windows live messenger, but yet if i turn on bittorrent, the downloads are fine, the trackers don't update, but DHT and peer exchange update fine.And also, i can get on Gameranger (which uses UDP port 16000) and play games, and this happens to all 5 computers on the network, (4 wireless at my house[3 XPs 1 Win7] and one wired at her house[Win 7]), so it's not something on the computer, also, usually when i check my router the subnet is usually 255.255.255.0 but this morning before i came to work i noticed it was 255.0.0.0 , not sure if that matters, this has been happening for months, usually between every 3-4 weeks, we have no browser and msn use for 2-3 days?

I have w7 and the D-Link DIR-655 router.I just replaced the same router that crapped out on me.I'm online with no issues but for some reason, I can't map some of my computers to one another. At first, it seemed like it was going well on a couple of them. Others ask for the windows password.I'm not sure, but I think it's the Homegroup password?I remember one of the the homegroup passwords and all computers are joined, but the only password I recall/know isn't working on any computers.
Questions: Can't I map network drives through the router functionality and do away with the homegroups altogether? I'd really like to do that. I'm not really impressed with homegroups.
if the answer is no, how the heck to I figure out or get new passwords? This wasn't an issue in the past. Not sure if somehow, I changed a setting?While searching around, I found the "manage credentials" area. Never noticed before.

Im looking to swap out my older 3.5" drive in an external enclosure for a Seagate - FreeAgent GoFlex Desk 2TB. Can I just drag and drop the 200+gb of files on my current drive to the new Seagate - FreeAgent GoFlex Desk 2TB? Or do I need to re configure the new drive in my web browser.

Region : Hongkong
Model : TL-WDR4900
Hardware Version : V1
Firmware Version : 3.14.3 Build 130320 Rel.39025n
ISP : PCCW Netvigator
I have upgraded to the latest firmware which solved lots of problems regarding unstable wifi connection as well as BitTorrent / P2P transfers.But I also observed that when my BT is on (Transmission for Mac) at around 50KB/s upload and download, my network latency hikes up from some 30ms to 500ms which affects a lot on web browsing or other apps requiring Internet.My BitTorrent app is showing I am merely making some 20 peers connection so I am not convinced that is an ISP problem but it's more about the router.

I just bought an IOSafe Solo G3 3TB drive. My E4200 does not seem to mount the drive correctly when formatted as GPT. When I re-format as MBR, it mounts with no problem, but this limits the drive size to 2TB. Has anyone had success with this HD or others using GPT format?

I have a file server running windows 2003 and five computers (1 windows 7, 4 windows xp-sp3).There are two shares on the server.When the router is setup with wpa2, three of the windows xp machines will have problems with mapped drives. Directly after the drives are mapped, everything works, but 10 or so hours later, users can no longer access these mapped drives and there is no way to reconnect them it seems.The other two machines (windows 7 and one windows xp machine) have no problems whatsoever.
The only thing that the three computers have in common is that they are also sharing a printer (an hp j4680) attached to one windows xp machine (not the server).If I set everything to wpa, everything works fine, but of course my wireless network speeds drop to 56mbps.

Is there a wireless router available that will support a free dynamic DNS provider such as [URL], without the need for custom firmware?
I have a device that requires DDNS, and I do not want to mess with firmware updates. I've already bricked a router trying to do that. So I'm looking for a replacement router that requires little to no modifications to use a free DDNS provider.

I have a small network of about 12 Mac's running OS X, about 20 or so iOS devices and a OS X Server. Currently i have a Cisco SRP547W which works fine when we're all wired in, however we have connection issues when trying to access the server over Wi-Fi. I'm lead to believe that this could be a result of the lack of support for Bonjour within the router. What might be a solid alternative?

I work for a non-profit agency and a donor gave us a generous donation of used Cisco equipment. One of the items is a SM-VAM2+. We tried it in a 7206VXR chassis with a NPE-G2 running 12.4(24)T6 and the router keeps barking that the SM-VAM2+ is not supported in the chassis. We have done searches on the Cisco web site and Google and there is no information regarding the SM-VAM2+ at all (all of the references are for the SA-VAM2+).
The question is if the SM-VAM2+ is supported on the 7206VXR with another version of IOS or what router supports the SM-VAM2+?
