  The regular shield does just fine for me, I can attach hard drives to my router and mount them as smb shares, and then access movies with VLC Player.

    What kind of router do you use? That setup has never worked for me with Asus routers for more than few days.

      ASUS RT-AX88U with Merlin firmware. Running stable since 2018 or so.

        Interesting. That is very close to the setup I’m using. Maybe I’ll give it another try.
