Archer VR1600v Ver:2.0 shared usb files > 2GB

[philcoal]

Hi,

I've put an external hard drive on the modem usb and then try to access these files.  I've found that the files < 2GB are ok but any files > 2GB can't be used.  It looks like the Archer VR1600v  Ver:2.0 is using Samba v1 (SMB v1) which has a 2GB limit.

So, firstly I'd like to know whether my modem has the latest firmware?

Firmware Version:                                 0.1.0 0.9.1 v5006.0 Build 200810 Rel.53181n

Hardware Version:                                 Archer VR1600v v2 00000000

Second, is there any way to upgrade the modem to SMB v2 ?

Thanks,

Phil
