Will this build let me do OpenVPN?

I would also like to be able to connect the storage device as a network drive instead of just media device or ftp.

Sorry if this is answered elsewhere I am new to the forum.

try launching these 2 services-smbd and nmbd with the command line parameters that were in TOP. check to see if the files exist on your router and modify the line.

K, I verified, SMBD and ProFTPD daemons are NOT running. I even disabled them, applied, then reenabled them, applied (all from the webgui). TOP doesn't show either of them running.

seems like the nmbd daemon is running but not the smbd

try launching it from putty

i think the line might be

service /usr/sbin/smbd -D --configfile=/tmp/smb.conf start

I looked through that directory but didn't see either binary... then i did a find command and found it in the /usr/bin so not sure why it didn't come up. Anyway, I ran the command you posted, checked with TOP to see if it was running. and tada.. it was running now. I went to my win 7 computer to see if i could access the share AND TADA!! THERE IT WAS!!

So.. how do I get this fixed to be automatic? or fixed in the next build?

Yea so I ran not this command, but the one you posted in the screen shot. Is there a difference now that the service seems to be running?

great that you got it working.

you can save the command in the startup under administration/Commands tab. Should run next time you restart the router(please test it for us)!

so what was the exact command that you ran that got it working?

Also for all those who have this router, how is the WAN speed? are you getting the full bandwidth of your internet connection?

In telnet, i typed:
/usr/sbin/smbd -D --configfile=/tmp/smb.conf

Hit enter, typed TOP to check what was running and there it was. Would it be better to use the command you wrote:
service /usr/sbin/smbd -D --configfile=/tmp/smb.conf start

???

As far as WiFi xfer rates, I get just as fast rates as my LAN connection. The range is fantastic, and expandable with external antennae.

I have no idea which one is better or correct so whatever works for you. try my command and see if it works. it may not. Thanks for being a pioneer! Smile

What I mean is that on some of these new routers with 3.x kernel and DD-WRT, there is a lack of native NIC drivers that causes the wan speed to be limited. just wondering if this router has that problem.

There just seems to be not alot of info/discussion out there on this model but sometimes no news is good news as in maybe it;s rock solid and trouble free. In that case I may pick up one in the near future. Been looking for a less expensive alternative to Netgear R7000/8000 or Asus AC68/U or 87U.

yea i agree, i get nervous if I don't see talk. But other than the smbd not starting on it's own, I've had zero issues with this router and dd-wrt. It has been extremely stable. Never had this stability or range with my many netgear routers. They would reboot frequently on any number of builds, but these have never rebooted on their own.

One issue I do recall now that I think about it was with initial setup. I couldn't get the router to get a DHCP from the upstream Ooma I have. Never had that problem with netgear. But when I made the ArcherC9 have a static IP, it worked fine. So that may in fact be a bug, but one that was thankfully easy to bypass (after a lot of sweat and troubleshooting).

one thing to check is if your router's network card mac addresses(it may have several-for eth0, eth1 and wlan0 and wlan1) are correctly populated and in sequential order on the main status page. this was an issue on my Asus units.

probably not an issue since you have it working with the static address but could be problematic if not getting a dhcp address.

also, so now if your samba is working, do you have a USB 3.0 drive attached? if so, how is the disk performance? better than USB 2.0 speeds atleast?

I'll have to get back to you on the disk performance. I had it connected to netgear before and it worked great. So we'll see.

The DCHP was for the router, not the devices connected to the router. My network is ISP->CableModem->Voip->ArcherC9. For some reason, the C9 wasn't getting an IP address from the VoIP, no matter what I did or how i reset it (but it would work fine for the netgear). But setting it to static ip make it work and passed the internet through.

why do you have the ooma in between the Archer and the Modem? Is that the way the ISP said or did it just work? Again not that it matters since it works for you but was just wondering. I don;t have any knowledge about Ooma so forgive my ignorance.

I thought you would just connect the Ooma to your network as a regular device and open the necessary ports/port forwarding or put in the DMZ.

Having the Ooma between the ISP and Router gives the Ooma much higher quality for voip and gives it priority. It does work after the router, but the quality can quickly suffer. Both ways are quite accepted, but one is better quality than the other.
