dir-655 What is the maximum simultaneous user to acess usb drive on samba? I want to share i hard drive between 2 user simultaneously and I think the router isn't able. Is it possible the router limited to one share of the usb hard drive?

Link>Welcome!

• What Hardware version is your router? Look at sticker under the router case.
• Link>What Firmware version is currently loaded? Found on the routers web page under status.
• What region are you located?

I don't know how many connections as I've never attempted to access any USB storage on routers with more than one connection. I would give it a try and see what you find out.

hello

if you are using that shareport app/program ... only one pc at a time can be connected to the usb harddrive plugged into the 655 router....

Let us know what you find out either way. Over all USB on routers has limited capabilities. If your needing more than one or two connections at a time, you need to look into NAS(DNS) for multiple user capabilities and sharing.
