Hi everybody.

I have 2TB HP usb 3.0 HDD (HP DT2000I)

Now, i want to buy DIR-826L and conect my HP HDD to new router.

Please let me know, will it work like this ?

Thank you.

On problem I had was on v1.02 with my 2Tb WD My Book USB 2.0 on Mac OSX 10.7.5 and 10.8.3. Would not work with SharePort. I haven't re-tested since v1.04 has come out. I'll try and run a quick test after work today. It worked with Windows 7x64. I don't think USB 3.0 should effect anything...

[alxalx]

Thank you for your reply. As far as I understood that 2TB HDD drive will be seen by roater normally and that the HDD can be accessed both from Windows PC and Smart TV Samsung using Wi-fi connection.
Please comment.

I can confirm that my 2Tb WB My Book 2007 USB 2.0 works on my DIR-826L loaded with v1.04 FW. I was able to connect to it in Windows 7x64 Explorer using \\192.168.0.1\USB_A1 and it was listed in Media Player and was able to view and watch one tested one video file. It took several minutes for the router to catalog the file content and bring the drive to access ready in media player since i have alot stored on it. However it did come up and works.

FurryNutz, thank your for reply
and sorry for long delay.

I bought and configure DIR-826L

I connected my HP 2TB HDD and can see folders using D-Link router interface.

But, please help me whith following question:

how to configure a router so I can access from my Win7 laptop directly, using wi-fi.
and how to connect my Samsung smart TV using DLNA Wi-Fi

Thank you for your help.

[FurryNutz]

You'll need to refer to the Laptops and TVs Mfr on how to configure those devices for WiFi operation. Set up can vary and not the same.

You have set up the routers WiFi SSID name and password already?

[alxalx]

yes, sure

and all devices connected to Internet perfectly.

But, I want, that laptop and TV for example
can connect via Wi-Fi to 2tb HDD,
connected to DIR-826 Router via USB.

So, I want to use my USB HDD, connected to router, like Network drive.

Is it possible ?

[FurryNutz]

I was able to connect to it in Windows 7x64 Explorer using \\192.168.0.1\USB_A1 and it was listed in Media Player and was able to view and watch one tested one video file.

[alxalx]

I have alredy access from PC

Just put
\\192.168.0.1

to adres line in the win explorer

[alxalx]

If I want to connect Samsung Smart TV to DIR-826L
I need media server with DLNA support on the router.
If I am right ?

So I need to upgrade my firmware from v1.00
to v1.02 or v1.04.

How I can upload v1.04 on v1.00,
beacuase I have no success.

Thank you.

 I recieved only error message

Upload Failed

The uploaded firmware file may not be correct. You may have uploaded a file that is not intended for this device, or the uploaded file may be corrupted.

If the uploaded file is correct, it is possible that the device may be too busy to properly receive it right now. In this case, please try the upload again. It is also possible that you are logged in as a 'user' instead of an 'admin' - only administrators can upload new firmware.

The Gateway will not be reprogrammed.

[FurryNutz]

What region are you located?

[alxalx]

Ukraine

My current firmware with "RU" index

[FurryNutz]

The only one I see and is recommended for your region is located here:
ftp.dlink.ru/pub/Router/DIR-826L/Firmware/DIR826LA1_FW101RUB01BETA02.bin

However the German web site has a more recent version if you want to try it:
http://www.dlink.com/de/de/support/product/dir-826l-cloud-gigabit-router-n600

Please follow the FW update process here:
FW Update Process

Use FF and do a factory reset before and after sending the FW. BE LAN WIRED to the back of the router.
Disable any 3rd party PC security software temporarily while doing this process.

I have tried this one
>>>The only one I see and is recommended for your region is located here:
>>>ftp.dlink.ru/pub/Router/DIR-826L/Firmware/DIR826LA1_FW101RUB01BETA02.bin

But this is v1.01 and also I have problem with Wi-Fi speed with v1.01 version.

I am also tried 1.04b07 from DE
>>>However the German web site has a more recent version if you want to try it:
>>>http://www.dlink.com/de/de/support/product/dir-826l-cloud-gigabit-router-n600

but recieve error
>>>Upload Failed
>>>The uploaded firmware file may not be correct.

Do you know any other ways to upload firmware?
Because using of standart WEB Interface just show errors for version v1.02 and above.
But I have no any problem with v1.00 and v1.01
