I'm currently playing around with owncloud on my Netgear R6300. I've compiled all needed features (lightttpd, php + deps) into a testbuild wich is 5MB larger than regular.
Thus I would like to know if any users are interested in using owncloud on their routers, before I waste more time on it.
Can you guys explain the differences between this and an openvpn setup where I can access my files? It is mainly the syncing part? This sounds very cool. I just want to understand it better.

There are many ways which allow you to access files.
OC turns your router in to a NAS with web interface to manage files music calendar users etc..
File/Photo preview name it.
The thing I like most is that it is on your own network.
I don't want my personal data on something like dropbox google calendar etc.
Call me suspicious...

I have considered using owncloud, but I have not found the time to "mess" with it or even set it up. If you can do something to get that working on my E3000, I would definitely use it. _________________ E3000 22200M KongVPN K26

From what I can tell now owncloud uses quite some ressources, so I don't think tit makes sense to run it on older units.
On 600Mhz / 128MB RAM units it should be ok on the new units e.g. R6250 with dual core arm it should work perfect. Also dependencies (php lighttpd) for owncloud need quite some flash, currently my build is around 20MB. Owncloud itself would be stored on the usb drive. _________________ KONG PB's: http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/

I'm not the one you asked, but chipmakers are known to sell 8 core chips as 7 core with the 8th disabled (for example) if one of the cores is, for lack of a better term, broken. There's a chance that they're just selling higher end but not fully functional stuff as slightly lower end.
As far as OwnCloud: I've a WZR-300HP which, I think can handle Optware. I wonder if OwnCloud can be distributed as Optware?
I am currently running your 20006M build on a belkin f7d3302. I installed owncloud using lighttpd, php and mysql from the openwrt snapshot repo on a usb drive. It's definetly nice to have but at least here also damn slow. Maybe my router is just to weak.

But Netgear markets the R6250 as a dual core 256MB wireless router.
