Archer_VR2800_As A media Player...NO Good_Rubbish!!
Model :
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version :
ISP :
I have a TP-LINK_Archer 2800.
I also have a 1TB usb_3 external hard drive attached to the router.
I have several films in Avi, Mp4, Mkv Format.
I was going to use this router as a Media Player to my Smart LG TV set
But it seems to me that the Archer 2800 is not capable of doing that.
If I put more than 24 films in the root directory of the usb drive
It will not acknowledge that they are there.
If I create folders and fill them with films, it does not matter what format they are in it
will not acknowledge there is a folder there.
I will point out if I connect using my PC to the router’s usb drives I can see every file.
Move, Delete, Rename.
Everything is good in that department
As a Media Player I am very, very disappointed in it.
I have gone back to using Serviio on my pc for distributing my media.
I have not made my mind up yet to whether I am going to keep this Router!
