@SirDigital  well I had hoped to keep the router, but accessing USB storage on the router is more important than using a TP Link router. My whole family needs to access the storage. I hate to have to purchase yet another router, next time i'll check out USB storage while return policy is active. 

Agreed... also I now check to see if 3rd party firmware is supported as a lot of these big companies do not patch their firmware once the router gets to be a year or so old. That and I like to take control of my devices to see what is really going on. I was in IT for 1/2 my life so that might have something to do with it... or it's my OCD.. :-)
