Hi.
After much swearing, and cursing, I got my router running, on build DD-WRT v3.0 r49677 std (08/10/22)
All is how I wanted it, speeds, WIFI, etc etc.

Now I have a problem......
I`ve bought a 2TB USB drive to add to the router.
I`ve watches a tutorial, saying I need a "BIG" firmware edition?
Absolutely no idea where to get that.
I need it for NTFS support apparently.

Where do I get said file, and how do I install it?
Just as I have everything running, I have to find this "big" file.

Can anyone help please?

When you start with DDWRT start at the top Smile

See the forum guidelines with helpful pointers about how to research your router, where and what firmware to download, where and how to post and many other helpful tips:

That would surely had resulted in less swearing and you would have known you were posting in the wrong forum.

No problem as I will transfer this thread for you to the appropriate forum Smile

To already give you a head start there is no big file, that is something from long ago for very old routers.
Your file has everything a man could want (well almost Wink )

Many thanks for your reply.
I ignored the YouTube tutorial regarding "big" firmware installations, as you suggested, added my USB drive to the router, and after some fiddling, got it to work.
Watched my first movie on the networked drive tonight.

The film was crap (The Northman), but it proved a point that it works.
