Hi when I go to my admin page I click on apps and install one, when I launch the app if says authentication required and asks me to log in, when I do nothing happens like my username and password are wrong or something. Can I fix this, as I can't open apps?

Which app is behaving this way?
Also what firmware are you running on the RN204?
- Francey532AspirantIt's transmission and it's happened on a few of the apps. I'm running the latest firmware not sure which version, is there a way to find this out

The firmware version e.g. 6.4.1 will show on the home page of the web admin interface.
Some apps require authentication which may be separate to what is used for the web admin interface.
You could try the username admin with passwords such as "admin" (no quotes), "password" (no quotes) etc.Looking up on the web for default credentials for e.g. Transmission may also be helpful.

I don't use transmission, but according to the wiki ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TransmissionHowTo#Username_and_Password ) the default username and password are both "transmission".
