Hi,
I installed a DD-WRT firmware,all configured, but i have few problems. Compared to OpenWRT in DD-WRT I cannot install any additional packages.
I need a Samba Net, I would like to have ability to start and stop windows service from router.
In Windows it is very easy to use command "sc start|stop"
Is it possible to install Samba tools on DD-WRT router?
You have to update to the latest beta. Link below. Just read the FAQ on how to update among the stickies.
I use WRT32x as well, and using two 8tb external HDDs without issue. Although I think for example Asus's version of OpenWRT are more responsive to wake up the drives.
USB 2.0 is really slow, but fast enough to stream and transfer files or directly download to it. Have not found an adequate solution to use drives with eSATA.

OK, thank you
Now I understand process, I can install new packages but only on USB drive.
Basically yes, however you can make a small permanent storage (/jffs) when you enable JFFS2 on Administration/Management (only routers with sufficent flash)
I am not a big fan, your flash ram is not intended for read/write operations (will wear out) and the only time I bricked a router was when that was enabled and I upgraded without first disabling jffs2 and reboot.
