Ive still not received mine from said eBayer, so I dropped him a whinge

Could this be my first hokey sale in 6+ years of ebaying ?

Its hooked up to my xbox 360 so doubles up to give the xbox internet connection as well.


# In a Nutshell, the Asus WL-HDD is a compact external hard disk that
provides Ethernet and 802.11g wireless NAS features. It functions as an
Sccess Point or a Wireless client.
It also includes by default some handy features such as a DHCP and FTP
server.
# Whilst the Firmware that comes installed on the WL-HDD provides basic functionality,
if unofficial firmware is installed (Olegs firmware), the WL-HDD effectively
becomes a mini linux box running a small linux distribution and allowing the
 installation of many standard linux packages and services

I too also get only 4mb over ftp, but its more than fast enough to feed the xbox with tasty movie nuggets.

mine took a while to come, but was sent an email saying how items from the far east were getting delayed

yeah, mine took a couple or weeks iirc

got 3 of them running now

there not that quiet when the HD is running... but set the HD power down time to 5 min, and when your not using it (99% of the time for me) then its silent

Nicest looking GUI is called webm_ multilingual.dat
and the latest firmware.

has anyone else noticed netwrok slowdown when your copying onto one of these ?

if i drag and drop via windows, or use ftp me network crawls to a halt, cant even brows the web properly.... if i use ftp and limit it to 1m/s then it all runs ok... ?

the thing is... it only goes at a little over 3meg/s anyway... so its not like its maxing it out

looks like firmware upgraded sorted it

edit: no it hasnt, it;s just improved it a bit

even if I limit ftp to 1000kb/s my web downloaded drop from 200k to ~40k

maybe its something on the pc Im using and not the drive tho ?

according to task managfer, with nop speed limits, network usage is about 25%.... ftp limited to 1,000k its only 8%

the more I limit it, the faster my web downloads go

transfering 9gig at 1000k = slooooow

doh, was a network card setting :$
