OK, another strange discovery affecting upload speed to Samba NAS
I was playing around with IP Filter Settings in Administration > Management and changed it from Vegas to Westwood
My upload to NAS speed dropped from 8MB/s to 4-5MB/s
Tried a few different AVIs and speed remained 4-5MB/s
Changed it back to Vegas and Im back up to 8MB/s again
Not sure how or why that affects it, but it seems to
hello, I'm kinda lost at that....what do you mean you changed Vegas for the other one? I checked my router's firmware (also wrt160nl) v2.4 sp2 and in the ip filter it only shows numeric values and nothing about tcp congestion methods....btw, I am getting transfers of 1.2 mbytes/sec tops.
Ah, don't worry about that, I have had it back on Vegas (Default) for a long time now
The main thing to get the good speeds is to format the HDD to EXT4 in Linux before connecting it to your NAS
Windows can still read it once it is connected as it is just a network drive and the router does the reading/writing
Thanks for the reply man...I upgraded to the same fw you're using (mine was from 2010!!!), and the problema I am having now is that when I copy large files (such as MKV's) the router reboots!!! when copy xls, or files as such it Works just fine. I formatted the NAS using ext4 as you pointed, and also used ext3...but either way it's not working.

Any clues?

Hmm, not sure, did you factory reset the router after flashing it ?
I can copy any size file to mine and its fine, the way I have it set up is an IDE to USB adapter/cable connected to an 80GB EXT4 Laptop HDD > USB Router > Wired to PC LAN
I set up a Samba Share on the router to share the HDD over the network and I copy to and from it via the network

Great!..I changed the path to /tmp/mnt....and now I get almost 10mb/s..one las question...I'm concerned about the /tmp thing (I have no knowledge of Linux)...am I storing my files at a "temp" location?

Good stuff
And no, so long as you copy them to the NAS folders they will write to the HDD
The /tmp part is just a temp link that Linux creates while the router is up I think, tells the router where to look for the real HDD
Im not great with Linux either but I've been using this setup for quite a while now and all my files save perfectly fine to the NAS, never lost anything ever _________________ TPLINK TL-WR2543ND (5GHz)
