Hi,
First, great that this forum exist !
Now, the bad: I received fews days ago my DIR-868L (fw1.0 or it was 1.1?) and just did the update to fw 1.04 yesterday. So, I didnot tested it much long with fw1.01 but, as far as I can tell, when I was connecting a USB flash drive or HDD in the usb port, it appeared immediately in Windows Explorer/ Network Folder by the side of my main PC and Laptop and so, directly from the Windows Explorer I could share files from the USB flash drive on my network.
Now, after updating to fw 1.04 (I did a reset before and after), just buggy things are happening. For example, the USB flash drive - while connected - will disappear at one point from my Network Folder and even if I disconnect-reconnect the USB flash drive, it will not reappear anymore !
Unless I change some important settings in the Router (doing a reset or, sometimes activating USB 3.0), the USB flash drive will be no more visible in my Network Folder. However, all this time it will still be detected in the Storage section of the D-Link Web Setup and I can still access it by SharePort Web Access.
This is really frustrating and I start wondering if my DIR-868L is not defectuous...
or may be I could try with fw 1.02 and see if the problem is still there ?
Any other suggestions of what I could do ?
I am on Windows7 SP1 64bit
thanks
John
