I bought the TP-Link WDR 4300 in the reverse auction on this site.
Cool router. Thanks Uniterm.
I am having issues with the media server though, and am having quite inconsistent behavior.
I first tested it, got it up and running in no time - could access the media no problem. I had to do a proper install, so took it down etc, set it up clean, proper wiring etc. Didnt change the settings. This time around can see the folders on the media server, but none of the content.
No stress, decide I will use a different HDD, plug that in, same problem. Unplug it, connect it to the second USB port, setup the folders and bobs your uncle, its working.
I rebooted the router to change the security settings, and back to the same problem, can see the media server, and the folders, but no content.
Then I tried putting the security settings back to the original way. I tried swapping the USB port again etc - no luck.
Anybody has some suggestions on how to resolve or what I could be doing wrong?

Effectively wiping the benefit of having a media drive without having a PC on all the time. The TV plays the files fine when the HDD is plugged into the TV usb. Some Googling revealed it's a limitation on Samsung TV firmware.
