Hi guys,
Maybe I'm missing something, but doesn't the WNR3500L ship with USB NTFS hard drive support out-of-the-box? Does the Paragon software add anything, and if so how is it different from the NTFS support that's included with the router? Anyone tried the paragon firmware?
Thanks.
good question :) I want to know as well.
When I got my router the stock firmware allowed me to connect NTFS formatted HDD...
I wish there was a DD_WRT firmware image with bundled NTFS support and SAMBA (configurable via router's web interface) created especially for WNR3500L
Hi, my router's stock version was 1.0.2.26 (before I flashed it with dd-wrt)
I read that the latest beta7 of tomato firmware comes with NTFS support and SAMBA3 but I don't how stable it is or how it performs comparing to SAMBA in stock one...
Cheers
I am thinking about flashing my wnr3500l with the latest beta version (beta7) of tomato created by teddy_bear. Once I get some results I will post them.
Hi, I tried that latest tomato beta firmware and I must say that I'm quite impressed with NAS performance. I connected my 250GB USB HDD formatted with NTFS and it was picked up straight away by my router. I used SAMBA to copy some files from my Windows PC on that HDD and the transfer rates were varying between 6-8MB/s (comparing to stock firmware - 2-3MB/s). Firmware seems to work stable but I haven't tried other features - I focused on NAS performance as it was most important thing for me.
