Nighthawk(R) X4S R7800 file srver
Hi Guys,
Is there a way to assign access to file server with other password than admin? If I want to share a file with someone, I have to open unprotected access until that person downloads the file. This is a bit less stupid than sharing my admin password with others...
I bought this router thinking to install DD-WRT on it for VPN and file server but hesitating doing so because it already have easy to use VPN. File sharing is still a problem because of poor password options...
Thank you

You might try Voxels 3rd party FW as well.
Good Luck.- Alex58Tutor
