Hi!

I got my router 2 days ago and after a few testing with the Netgear-firmware i installed DD-WRT.

To install, i first was forced to use DD-WRT for WNR3500L v24 K2.6 Mini 13972 BETA (CHK)

after that i could install DD-WRT for WNR3500L v24 K2.6 BIG 13972 BETA (BIN)

Now the services menu showed also the USB tab.

I enabled everything as recomended in Enable USB Sharing Over Your LAN with NETGEAR WNR3500L and DD-WRT

but neither my USB Harddisks (NTFS and EXT3) nor USB-Stick(FAT) will be recognised. The "Disk Info" is empty.

The Stick and the NTFS drive worked fine with the Netgear firmware.

My question: Did i something wrong?  Who have this Router running DD-WRT with USB devices?

Thank you for your replies.

Did you try rebooting the router with the USB drive plugged in?

Hi!
Yes, i also reset it to defaults. Did you get it working with USB?
I will try Tomato now, to verify the function of USB. Will switch bach to DD-WRT later.
I will post my results here.
Thank you!

Did you do a 30/30/30 reset, after moving to dd-wrt?

If you login to the router via ssh or telnet, what does command:

lsmod

show you? In addition you can check kernel debug info:

dmesg | grep usb

USB has been working with dd-wrt for a while.

Tomato does also not recognise the USB devices.
Will try to install the original Netgear firmware now.
...and i am confused why there are different file types as .trx .bin and .chk
Tomato and DD-WRT doesn't accept chk-files....

But this is anoter story.
Does anybody else has experience with this USB topic?

Hi!

The 30/30/30 reset helped. It is working fine with USB now, and has Samba per default.
I am currently testing Tomato.
Thank you!
