samba share working fine on my wndr3700v4 last build and this one. Flashed thru GUI last build & the drive auto mounted and available. Also auto mount works OK on the wrt160nl
If anyone else had responded I would have been doubtful. On the other hand, I've followed a number of your posts and realize you have a bucket of these WNDR models, so now I'm not so sure.
Managed to get Samba and ProFPTD working together with a quick Run-on-mount script but not a good long term solution. USB flash was file checked and cleaned last nite before testing.
Looks like timing could be the issue. Are you mounting a USB flash or HDD? Any special mounting scripts?

Just a small flash drive on the 3700v4... I'm running QOS also and the CPU struggles moving big files thru samba ... actually it will quit moving close to 1GB. I can move GB+ thru the wrt160NL but it is jsut a WDS-AP.
Not using ProFTP .. therein is likely some conflict for you about what's mounting who, when & where. Did you try auto mount and stability with ProFTP disabled?
I hear ya on Samba. It's extremely important on my setup since it coordinates network connections between a NAS server, RasPi Kodi, and various Windows machines. System has never choked on large files or high transfer rates but unfortunately, the bus driver right now is asleep at the wheel.
ProFPTD was disabled completely to isolate the problem but it made no difference. Was able to identify some unusual errors which the devs might understand.
Otherwise its down to USB flash partition/file reading delays or interference from unknown processes. I'm a bit concerned about the amount of traffic from vpn modules, the igmprt multicast daemon, igmpproxy errors, etc. that appear in logs. Settings that control these functions have always been disabled, including all wireless and firewall. Basically running a very sophisticated gigabit switch on a separate LAN subnet.
