I own a RT-N66U, Firmware is 3.0.0.4.354.29 Beta 1.
The problem exists actually since I have the router (RT-N66U_3.0.0.4_264.22 is the last FW I remember). I switched between FW (original and Merlins) but it made no difference.
I attached a NTFS 2,5" HDD (2TB, Western Digital My Passport). It's running fine but there is one problem driving me nuts.
I can read all the files and folders in the drive, but I dont have permission to write in all folders.
E.g. I map the drive as a network drive Z: and browse it with the Windows Explorer. No problem so far. I browse into the folder Musicvideos, there I can change the filenames and create new files/folders, play videos and everything.
But if I browse the "my Videos" or "series" folder I am not able to change a filename or copy new files/create folders. I am allowed to watch the videos but can't write.
What I did:
Formatted the drive and copied everthing from scratch with default permissions via PC (HDD connected to PC).
Changing the permissions on the drive via Windows to EVERYONE, changed owner to EVERYONE and gave all permissions in every folder (via different batch commands and via GUI in Windows, I tried almost every solution from the world wide web I could find). I also tried giving permission "Admin" but it made no difference.
If I try to change any permission when the drive is mapped as a network drive, then I dont have any any privileges. There are two users (S-1-5-21-4106388189-2006999514-3293634509-1000 and S-1-22-2-0 which I can't see when the drive is connected directly to the PC). I can't change anything in the "Security" dialogues, windows keeps telling me that S-1-5-21-4106388189-2006999514-3293634509-1000 is the owner and I dont have the right to change anything).
The funny part is, that I can write in some folders (e.g. musicvideos) but not in all folders (e.g. series) (but every folder has the exact same permissions in my opinion). I tried to give permission for the full drive (right click on drive and "security") and for single folders (e.g. right click on "my videos").
Please tell me what I can do to get full access on the drive via network. If I connect the drive to other Windows machines, then everyone can access the device with all full write permission (windows shows it as EVERYONE). Is there a specific command I have to enter in the router admin panel? Or an option to give full access?
It seems like all permissions I give in Windows become ignored as soon as the drive is mapped as network drive :(
I want to sync the drive via WLAN but dont have permission to write on it. I can read all files.
If you got questions dont hesitate to ask me!
