I meant that I have a dynamic IP, no modem. I installed the latest RT-N version: 1.28.0499 MIPSR2Toastman-RT-N K26 USB Ext. This actually seems to be working, although accessing the remote USB drive is somewhat dodgy - sometimes it simply doesn't show up in my network. Therefore using it for torrents is not quite optimal.. Is there a way to fix this?

guest - My attitude? I was merely expressing my feelings towards the problems the router and various software were giving me. Perhaps you should stop posting useless things? There's some attitude.

Perhaps you need to think about your attitude?

How exactly are you trying to use the router?

If you have the 3500Lv1 then you should not be using the RT-N builds, you should be using the RT builds. Try a newer build too - the 7496 builds are 3 months old (which doesn't sound like much, but Toastman puts out pretty regular builds). I'm using 7498.1 on my RT-N16 and am on 40+ days uptime. I wouldn't try 7499 yet, I've read there are a few bugs still being worked out.

I was running dd-wrt which was working fine, but the reason I'm trying to install tomatoUSB is to be able to easily access my files - not through SSH or FTP as seems to be the only way with dd-wrt..?

I did a clean upgrade, this time with tomato-K26USB-1.28.0499MIPSR2Toastman-RT-N-Ext.trx, and thereafter did a 30-30-30 reset. Even when I'm connecting the router with wire to my computer, it keeps dropping the IP. Upon renewing the DHCP-allotment it takes less than 10 seconds before the IP is dropped and no connection remains..

Help!

I have tried many times now. And I got it working last night, for a full 10 hours or something, when the problems suddenly showed up again.

I have cleared the nvram regularly when trying to get it work.
I have DHCP straight from the wall, so no problems there.
I have tried a few firmwares:
-tomato-K26USB-1.28.7496.1MIPSR2-Toastman-RT-Ext.trx
-tomato-K26USB-1.28.7496.1MIPSR2-Toastman-RT-Std.trx and
tomato-K26USB-1.28.0497.1MIPSR2-Toastman-RT-N-Ext.trx.

I know the last one is for a different version of the router, but I took a chance and even tried that. No luck, though.

i have the same router and it works fine.
without knowing the details or which build and your configuration, i would suggest the following:
1. clear nvram and start from scratch setup again
2. make sure your (cable modem - i assume) is not also using address 192.168.1.1. this is a frequent source of dhcp problems.
3. check your firmware version. post the details here if yo want more help.

I.e. instead of 192.168.2.146 it's given 172.169….

I'm sick and tired of this shit. Wasted 8 hours in the last days trying to fix this crap. I'm assigning a static IP to the computer's MAC but still it gets a random IP…

But the problem persists..

Under File Sharing I have the following settings:
Enable File Sharing - Yes, No auth.
Workgroup Name - Wes
Client Codepage - 850 Western Europe
Auto Share - Read/Write
Master Browser and WiNS Server - checked
jffs Read/write
root$ - Read only (hidden)

As for writing to the drive, what do you have selected under "USB and NAS -> File Sharing"?

I can't write to the drive!

I've hooked it up with a 1TB harddrive and can access it from OS X. It is incorrectly named "unknown" in network, but I can see all the files and also read them. However, I cannot write to the drive at all. I'm asked to enter name and password, but get permission denied in return.

What am I doing wrong?
