The AR750S has NAND and NOR flash. With the plain vanilla OpenWrt image you can only use the latter flash type - initially only flashable via web based uboot. For details see here: https://blog.gl-inet.com/how-to-enter-the-uboot-web-ui/
thanks
since i was not able to flash the last available open wrt image, i set the router back to factory settings
and now for some reason i can start samba.
the gl-ar750s is a travel router, so i have it connected like a repeater of my home router.
However i still have two (new) issues:
-
when the windows laptop gets internet access through the router: In this case i can access the usb drive connected to the router, it shows up in windows file explorer/network , however once i enter in the usb drive it doesnt show any file.
-
when the windows laptop gets internet access through the home router (to which the travel router is also attached) : In this case the router still shows up in windows file explorer network, but i can not access it
It seems to me that in the latter case something should be done with the router firewall but i am not sure what.
I found this , do you think this is what is needed? and if so how can i configure the routers firewall.
Excuse my ignoranceConfigure /etc/config/firewall to open the following ports (if your LAN access is rejected by default):
TCP 137 - NetBIOS Name Service
TCP 138 - NETBIOS Datagram Service
TCP 139 - NETBIOS Session Service
TCP 445 - Microsoft Directory Services
config 'rule'
option 'src' 'lan'
option 'proto' 'udp'
option 'dest_port' '137-138'
option 'target' 'ACCEPT'
config 'rule'
option 'src' 'lan'
option 'proto' 'tcp'
option 'dest_port' '139'
option 'target' 'ACCEPT'
config 'rule'
option 'src' 'lan'
option 'proto' 'tcp'
option 'dest_port' '445'
option 'target' 'ACCEPT'
Somehow I have sorted everything out
But now I donât know how to create a smb user
I donât want to configure files
Can it be done from within luci?
Regards
This the template
I have added here two users, but to no avail, I canât give them a password with smbpasswd in terminal because it doesnât recognize the users kuku and luisa
This is my template smb config from luci

I will start a new post since this last issue has nothing to do with the initial one from this post
