Guys, got a question.

How do I access usb storage thats attached to the VR900?

Media server is visible but I can't access the storage from windows

put \\Archer_VR900 in nothing shows up

EDIT: I AM AN IDIOT - not turned on windows 10 network discovery!

working fine now

Found any good deal on this modem? Been looking for one... The rainforest is pretty obvious place to get it, but it's a little expensive still..
 
Partially related, something I only realised recently is that this router only supports 16 port forwarding items to be defined by the user. Pretty disappointing for a pretty high-end router.

That store had a flash sale of £99 just before Christmas. TP-Link themselves also offered a free 802.11ac USB WiFi adapter for anyone who bought it around that time. Not sure what I'll use mine for but useful for some I guess.

Great modem router, I don't bother with port forwarding.

As a gaming modem/router I find it excellent, mine I use on wifi all the time with no issues, very good range as well.

Btw mine is hooked up with Asus PCE-AC68 card(Broadcom chipset), I've also tried Ralink/Mediatek based chipset USB N and AC dongles as well with no problems on both 2.4 and 5Ghz bands.

I just bought it from the raisforest for 125 so consider it decent.

but i need it now bsically. worth while keeping you eye out for it.

it is a solid router/modem. I am not going to change it for years i think. unless something amazing comes along that can get wired speed in air

Mine is linked through a Netgear A6210 usb AC1200 dongle. I am very happy with the speed. at close range, i get 400+mbps. I am a couple of rooms away and get sustained 250mbps wifi transfer with a couple of solid walls in the way.

my old netgear D6300 does about 100-150mbps in the same room depending on if there are other 5Ghz devices in near proximity so it is a great speed boost.

I actually updated to the latest firmware and had to manually configure the VDSL setting cos the firmware is EU so it has no entries for UK services. Not a hassle after about 3min if trial and error

I never had to do that on Plusnet ADSL, you do know there is an option to backup config settings?

Look at chapter 13 on PDF manual for info.
