Fred, my objective is to use the drive as an NAS. The drive began life

Since the ASUS will be mounting the drive and sharing the data, the ASUS
may require particular filesystems (I'm imagining exfat or fat32). What
filesystem is on the drive at present?
Also, is it a DOS partition table or GPT? Might also be relevant.
Thanks for beating me to this. :-) :-)
FWIW, ASUS doesn't seem to keep their compatibility charts up to date.
I found https://event.asus.com/2009/networks/disksupport/ but this is from 2009 and the RT-ARCH13
isn't listed. But the similar product RT-ARCH15 is. And it shows that ext4 is NOT supported.

When I look at the drive on this computer with I gparted I see:
[root@Workstation-1 bobg]# gparted /dev/sdc
WD My Book 25EE ext4 /run/media/bobg/bbdb9a5e-5003-4d4e-a18c-fb30a248
Perhaps I need to change the file system to vfat, gpt, or whatever samba
wants? ASUS appears to be using a version of DD-WRT with their own gui,
I believe the hype mentioned WRT? One reason for getting this router was
to try the USB attached hard drive using an unmodified router, I always
buy a router that is listed compatible with DD-WRT or preferably
Tomato-USB, the latter preferred since it logs daily usage per ipaddress
so I know what is hogging my b.w. allocation. I had similar, probably
the same, problems withe router I've been using for the last year which
I reworked for Tomato-USB, a DD-WRT related program.
