hello ,thanks for reply my friend

i see this user guide before asking here, but cant make it work!! there is something that maybe i am do wrong

if i will flash this file FW_WRT3200ACM_1.0.6.181063_prod

that i download it from linksys site

i will be able to get back to stock firmware ?

it can be risk maybe to get brick?

i must have this external USB drive connected so if there is no choice i think i go back to stock firmware

I wouldn't go back to the stock fw... if you get used to Lede/Openwrt you will never look back, trust me.
First of all i would suggest to install davids latest build on your wrt-3200: https://davidc502sis.dynamic-dns.net/
All the needed packages are pre installed and it shouldn't be too difficult to mount your USB drive and setup a network share.

You could also check out some howto youtube videos... i'm pretty sure you will get it done :wink:

@mataniluz It's highly recommended anyone flashing 3rd party software to buy a USB-TTL cable, so much so, it's the 2nd bullet in the WRT AC Series Wiki.

For USB, the LEDE wikis linked to above are lacking...

  1. Install kmods for USB storage support

    • opkg update ; opkg install kmod-usb-core kmod-usb-storage kmod-usb-storage-extras kmod-usb-ehci kmod-usb2 usbutils

  2. Install the appropriate kmod for the filesystem on the drive

    • opkg install e2fsprogs kmod-fs-cifs kmod-fs-exfat kmod-fs-ext3 kmod-fs-ext4 ntfs-3g ntfs-3g-utils

  3. Follow the Using Storage Devices Wiki

6

kmod-usb-storage-extras is useless.

thanks for your help

can you please help with teamviewer to fix the drive issue on lede build?

i will very appreciate it

I would be very careful about allowing anyone you don't know to connect remotely to your system.

kmod-usb-storage-extras adds kernel support for drivers required by certain USB drives, so no, it is not useless.

.

No, not a chance... this is not difficult, you've been provided with the exact commands required, and there's multiple wikis to walk you through it.

Ok, so it was never an issue about USB support, but sharing the drive across your network... looks like you have to install and configure SAMBA.

@mataniluz If you are looking for something that works out of the box, if you are not willing to try and experiment, if you do not like the do-it-yourself philosophy, if you do not want to search and read... then OpenWrt / LEDE is definitively not for you; you are going to waste a lot of your time and get frustrated.

The Linksys firmware file should have .img at the end.

However, some Linksys routers have dual partitions, one of which should contain the original Linksys firmware...

@mataniluz Why is it you've refused to read the documentation made available to you, of which would answer every single issue you've brought up in this thread?

Since @mataniluz can't seem to help them themselves, I recommend everyone stop responding to this thread, as one who refuses to help themselves should not be having others taking time out of their day to help them.

  • As I stated earlier: If one is unwilling to help themselves, do not expect others to do so"

It is totally up to everybody responding to this topic how to use their time. There's no need for recommendations like this.

If you can't stand people not acting as instructed, then don't read this thread or don't read this forum at all.

This is not meant to be pasted at the prompt, but rather in /etc/config/samba.
