Thanks for the update.

I am tempted by the ALL In 1 EasyAcc. One question though: can you access storage connected to the device wirelessly or via wired network using the standard Explorer in a Win7 PC? Can the storage be accessed in Windows like a network storage?

I've owned the Ravpower WD01 since last April and I've been enjoying the device: light, powerful and functional.

Unfortunately, the micro USB receiver had been pushed further inside than the reach of the charger end, and I can no longer charge the device.

I have not seen any instructions on how to take it apart (will probably void the warranty but at this point I would just like to make it work).

I'm considering the ADATA DashDrive Air AE 400 (On amazon about the same price ~$45).

By the way, Ravpower WD01 seemed to have been discontinued, as I was not able to find it on Amazon, and eBay has a private listing for $150+.

Any help or recommendation is appreciated.

p.s. What do you guys think about:

[All-in-1] HooToo® TripMate Wireless N Portable Travel Router (5200mAh Power Bank, USB Storage Wi-Fi Media Sharing, Access Point, Wi-Fi Mini Router & Bridg​e)

It doesn't have an SD card reader, but almost everything else is the same (wired LAN into wifi, wifi stream from USB drives, etc)

It's $49.99 on Amazon (US)

When connected to the EasyAcc device via wifi, you can access it using FTP in Windows Explorer. It will also show up in the "Network" folder structure.

The device comes with useful instructions. It does not come with an app; rather, you can use any of a number of file explorers (ES, Solid, etc.) that are capable of accessing network stores. The included documentation directs you to download one (ES) and gives you step-by-step directions that are remarkably thorough and easy to follow. I would scan and post them but the instructions are printed in full-color on a poster-sized piece of paper that is folded for easy storage.

Hey guys....

Had know idea there was a thread for the ravpower RP-WD01

Listen if yous are still out there, and this thread is active......

I am STILL trying to get this to be a hotspot so I can use my rooted note2 ( N3bulized) or my unrooted N7y2013 or my rooted asus tf300 (kitkat Omni rom)

I go into the menu inside the rav via android device and go into settings and sign into my router at home password and all and then I back out and it tells me it has to be restarted for settings to take place. So I do all of that.....and I pretty much think it doesn't work.

It tells me to connect back to Ravepower thinking it has my router options saved inside (but) connected to ravepower. I try and link web browser play store fb it will not connect.....to internet access.....

also the 10.10.10.254 wont work on my laptop....just times out....not sure what is doing wrong...

should i reset the ravepower....hope I made sense...and hopefully I hear from someone...this thread has been here a little bit.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Ken401:
Has it ever worked for you? I am able to use my Xoom to connect to the WD01's SSID and then under Network Settings>Internet I scan to find the SSID I want the WD01 to use for internet along with the password. After hitting Save on that same screen, the WD01 seems to connect without rebooting and my tablet has internet access through the WD01 since it was already connected reboots and you should reconnect to the WD01's SSID when it becomes available. Is it possible you entered the SSID of the internet source on the Host Name Wi-Fi & Lan screen? That would change the SSID that the WD01 is broadcasting rather than connect you to the internet source WIFI. You can try the reset and then the WD01's SSID will be WiFiSD-193C with the password of eight 1's (11111111). Be sure your laptop connects to the WD01's SSID.

First of all thank you for the quick response. ....didn't expect. ...Second of all....I'm will try what you say and report back...perhaps it am missing a huge part ...of the puzzle....very frustrated

I just got my RavPower today, but I think my R/W LED is not working.

Has anyone ever seen it lit? According to the manual it should indicate when a USB storage is connected or when I'm transferring files.

But even though I can access the files (and copy&stream movies), the led never turned on or blinked...
[Nexus 10 Accessories] ganggreen777:
Yes it will definitely light up...When I use the sd slot...If you use the usb by itself I don't think it will light up...

BTW have you tried to use it as a 'hotspot'

I have notice it will go through the process of tapping into my router...(update)-from previous post. ..it won't reboot now that's good...per someone else said it doesn't reboot...but I noticed that I go through the process of setting it up for hotspot.....I still can't get Internet while transferring files.....I have to be doing something wrong....uugg

Using an IPad to connect to the RAVPower. I'll be playing a video and after about 20-30min the video stops. I have to reconnect the wifi to the device. It'll be good again for about 20-30min and the process repeats.

I've read through all 14pages and didnt find an answer. Or I just missed it.

I've done a firmware upgrade. Even though I dont think it needed it.

Thanks

This device is like an external storge? How many GB he can stored?
[Nexus 10 Accessories] matejilic:
Not really, you can connect an SD card up to 64 GB and you can connect a USB/hard drive. There is no actual storage on the device itself.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] DarrenHill:
Network Access to Filehub

And to come back to some of the earlier questions - once you have the WD01 connected up to your router, then you can access it directly from any other device that's on the same network. Your router will assign it an IP address for its network (not the 10.10.10.254, but something on your local list, usually 192.168.x.x) and you can then access it also via that IP address.

Also once you've given the device a name via the web interface, you should find that \\whatevernameyougaveit will also work, and under Windows it should appear under the network section under Windows explorer. The first time you open it that way you'll get a pop-up box asking for the log-in credentials (user "admin" and whatever pwd you set up for the filehub - if you don't log-in then you won't be able to see anything on either SD or USB connections), which can then be stored like a normal log-in by Windows. After that you can just access it directly like any other network drive, including mapping a network drive to it if that takes your fancy. My filehub is currently drives X: and Y: on my laptop (the SD card and USB port respectively, with a 32GB card in the former and a 2TB WD myPassport hooked up to the latter). And on my Nexus7 I have it bookmarked under File Manager HD as a networked LAN connection using the name link (which the network automatically resolves into the relevant IP address for whatever network the two devices are connected to).

The only thing that I can say is lacking from the filehub at the moment is DLNA support, but from a query to Ravpower they said this was currently being worked on (although I'm not sure if this will be a firmware update or if it'll be a new device - their email wasn't very clear). But apparently things were due out very soon (they said the end of the month was their aim), so I guess we will see soon.

Overall most happy with the device for my travelling time (the WD-HD and the filehub both fit nicely into a single Amazon Basics HD case, perfect for tucking into the laptop bag), for use either with my netbook (with HDMI output to a telly), Nexus7 and my HTC 8X winphone. The DLNA would be the icing on the cake though.

[MENTION=5739693]DarrenHill[/MENTION] -- Thank you! I knew there was a way to map it easily in WIN, just hadn't had the time to figure it out :D

Are there any custom firmwares available?
[Nexus 10 Accessories] flurec:
Firmware

I'm having a problem figuring out what is the most current firmware. My device had the .158 installed

On the product page it has the following available for download

On their website at (can't post link)- support/psd-23

fw-SD-RAV-WD01-2.000.004 modified 12/20/13

I already had this one-

fw-wifisd-i4294w277r2000158-2.000.158 modified 10/8/12

I'm confused by what is listed, the modified dates and the file naming scheme. Any thoughts?

BTW it let me install the .004 firmware but now I suspect that it may be an earlier one.

---------- Post added at 04:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 AM ----------

Just got an email from RAVPower-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you very much for choosing RAVPower FileHub!

004 is the customerized version for RAV Filehub and it is the latest version, which support WEP network.

Any other questions, please feel free to contact us.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other than the spelling mistakes I'm still a little confused. They must have changed their naming/numbering scheme and I guess WEP is what this adds. Any thoughts?

Chromecast Compatibility?

I don't know if this has been examined yet but has anyone tried this with Google Chromecast? I mean connecting a tablet/phone to the network and streaming it through Avia or another local storage casting app (if those apps have compatibility)? Or casting the wifi storage media through Chrome using Videostream for Google Chrome or other app? I just ordered one and will be testing the compatibility as soon as I receive it but if anyone with this can confirm it does/doesn't please comment.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] DarrenHill:
You're welcome.

To give a little more update, I spoke with them again over the weekend by email and clarified things a bit further about this nice bit of kit. Apparently there is a rev.2 version of the device due to be released in April, which will have DLNA support. They are also considering a firmware update for the rev.1 device (the one on current release that we have) to add the same functionality, but that will come afterwards and is not fully confirmed.

To the best of my knowledge there aren't any custom firmwares yet, although the root password of the device is known ("20080826") and there are others on this board who were trying to get additional functionality working on it - there are a few posts on the subject earlier in this thread. Ravpower have just released a new firmware version for the device (confusingly named 2.000.004, given the current on-device version for release is 2.000.158). There are more details on that a couple of posts above this one, see below (I got the same details in my response from Ravpower).

Indeed if anyone does know of any custom firmware for this device to add new functionality, I'd like to know too :)

---------- Post added at 09:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 AM ----------

I had the same dilemma, and much the same response from Ravpower when I queried it (I was expecting the firmware update to perhaps add DLNA support, see my other post above).

Giving a quick test to .004, I see that you can also now choose the region for the wifi (which you can't under .158), but one problem I did see with .004 was that my SD card wasn't recognised by the firmware (although still fully accessible over the wifi via the device). So at the moment I've reverted back to .158, as I don't need WEP support (my network is WPA2).

For anyone that does need the older .158 firmware, you can still get it from their website under www_ravpower_com/support/RP-WD01.jsp (replace the underscores with dots for the URL - I'm too much of a noob here to be able to post URLs - haven't hit my 10 thank you's yet... ;) ) as the "firmware_update_for_Airstor_App.zip" under the tablet & smartphone section (3rd one down).

For completeness, the new .004 one is available at www_ravpower_com/support/psd-23.html (ditto noob url) under the software tab.

Hello,

First, let me inform you that I use a translator (I'm french) ...

I am interested in the WD01 RavePower 5-In-1 Wireless FileHub. But before i buy it, I would like an answer to the two questions below :

1- Does the connection between the RP WD01 and a tablet or a PC requires an internet point access ? Or the two devices can communicate directly by wifi if they are next to each other ? (even though I'm in the middle of the ocean without web access) ?

2- I use ES Explorer as Android explorer. Can I have access to the content on the connected WD01 RP from ES Explorer or should I use a specific Rave Power application?

Thanks
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Ken401:
Hope this translates to French okay! Question 1: the WD01 creates its own WIFI network that your PC will connect to. No internet required for the two to communicate. The WD01 also acts like a bridge when another WIFI signal is present for internet access. So, your PC connects by WIFI to the WD01 and the WD01 is connected to another WIFI with internet access, thus making your PC connected to the internet. Question 2: the WD01 will have an IP address that you can enter in ES Explorer as a LAN connection. In ES Explorer, you will enter the user name and password that you use to access the WD01's webpage. Hope this helps.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] pingnew:
Great !

Merci beaucoup Ken401 ;)
[Nexus 10 Accessories] euqiddis:
My question...

Say i connect a sd card adaptor and an external hard drive to the device and want to copy files from the sd card to the external drive, does this do this? if so, how fast is the transfer e.g. 4 Gb.

thanks
[Nexus 10 Accessories] DarrenHill:
I just tried this on mine (using the built-in file explorer in the web interface), transferring 3 files totalling about 4GB (each file ~1.3-1.4GB individually) from my WD My Passport HD (USB3, although the RP-WD01 USB port is only USB2) to a Sandisk microSD card in a caddy in the filehub. For the full copy it took about 18 minutes 10 seconds.

Seemed fairly reasonable to me, although mileage may vary depending on specific files and drives used I guess. But you can judge if that's OK for you or not. Hope it answers your question anyway. Presumably if you used a remote (wifi-connected) tablet or computer-based file manager instead it would take longer as it'd have to bounce via that device (would perhaps depend on hardware and software again), but I didn't have time to try that. But there's no reason you couldn't access and use the built-in web interface file explorer from them anyway if you did want to do such a move-around (it's quite a well-featured application given what it is).
[Nexus 10 Accessories] euqiddis:
Thanks for that.

Securing rp-wd01

Got a ravpower wifi disk myself last week. After playing around with it, I found some concerning security issues, especially if you want to connect your rp-wd01 to a foreign network (e.g. hotel).

I found out that all services are also exposed to the interface (apcli0) connected to the foreign network. This means that samba shares and also the telnet daemon are exposed to the foreign net.

The telnet daemon is the most concerning one, as this directly allows root access, and everybody who has read this forum (or other forums) know the root password on the device.

This means that potentially everybody can get root access to your device, being able to access your data or wipe your data for that matter.

So last weekend I have spend a short time making the device a bit more secure. It is hackish, but for now I am fine with it.

Wrote an article on my wiki, as I am not able to paste outside links (not enough posts yet) I pasted the link like this (you can figure it out):

www [dot] isartor [dot] org/wiki/Securing_your_RavPower_Filehub_RP-WD01

I also sent that article to ravpower, so hopefully they do something with it, like having the option to secure your device better from the web interface.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] DarrenHill:
Most useful information - thanks for that. I had wondered about that kind of issue, although I've deliberately not been linking mine through to hotel networks for that reason (not having enough detailed knowledge to know how to make the password change stick until now).

One question though - can you advise if it's possible to block access to the telnet daemon but leave access available to the SMB shares? I ask as I sometimes use my filehub at home connected onto my home wifi network, so in that case it would be a pain (as I assume filtering by SSID or similar network ID would be impossible, or at least a real pain to do). Hence if I put your blocks in place as described on your wiki it would stop that working too. But the telnet block is a good idea I think, as switching over to 10.10.10.254 to make such rare tweaks shouldn't be too problematic.

Looking on the web for details of Iptables I can follow what your commands are doing, but I can't see any way of making it port specific (to block telnet but not SMB). Is it possible? I'd rather ask an expert than risk lobotomising my filehub and make it not accept connections at all.

Editted to add:

After a bit more research, would it just be

/bin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 23 -i ${iface} -j DROP

and similar for UDP to only block telnet (port 23)?
[Nexus 10 Accessories] msartor:
That iptables rule should indeed do the trick.

Telnet only does tcp. So if you only want to block the telnet port, your above rule should be sufficient. I only blocked both tcp and udp as I am kind of unix guy, and don't know much about the windows way of filesharing (samba), as I only have used NFS in my past. Blocking udp was just a way of securing that in case samba uses udp somehow.

My wiki of course is kind of hackish, and a really fast way of drilling things down.

About your other remark about filtering based on SSID, that should indeed be possible. So you should be able to apply the firewall rules if SSID != "your_ssid", and not apply those DROP rules if SSID == "your_ssid".

The only thing you then need to keep in mind though is never to connect to a foreign SSID which is named exactly the same as your SSID.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] DarrenHill:
Again thanks :)

From a little net research, it looks like samba uses both TCP and UDP ports (TCP ports 139 and 445 plus UDP ports 137 and 138).

I'll have a further play with it tonight and see what I can get to work. But last night's experiment following your wiki guide has the root password changed and IPv6 blocked out (or at least after doing so the thing still works and is accessible/usable, which is the main point).

I'm rather coming at this from the other way, as I only have limited experience of UNIX hence all the basic questions above. But one hopes that RAV take some notice of your suggestions too and get something built into the upcoming software update (which should bring DLNA, so would make the device even more desirable to limit and lock-down for foreign network accessability).

If possible could you post some example code for the SSID filtering (either here or via the wiki) as I'm not so up to speed on the scripting language and as I said I'm rather feeling my way along here and don't want to brick things. I have a couple of SSIDs that I'd like to allow the samba sharing on, but to otherwise generally block them. I can see how to do the blocking part with the iptables commands, but it's the if statement make-up and the SSID part of it that I'm not sure about (especially also how to "or" in such a script, I presume it's | or || or something like that?).

Basically what I'm looking for is free access on specific SSIDs plus when on the hub's own hotspot, but to lock things down for all other SSIDs that the hub is connected to (hotel networks mainly).
[Nexus 10 Accessories] msartor:
Well… I would need to find the time to figure all that out. I can give it a shot, but I don't know when I will be finding a good solution for that.

The problem here is, to get this to work really well, you need to be able to detect when the device is connecting to a different wifi network, and then disable or enable filtering based on the SSID.

Disabling and enabling filter rules based on the SSID is not really difficult, as I already found a way to detect the SSID name to which the device is connected. The thing I don't know yet is how to detect a change of wifi networks, and then trigger a script when that happens.

Of course I could start my own daemon which checks ever x seconds/minutes for a network change, but this will be consuming cpu cycles for no reason in 99% of all checks. So I'd rather try this more clean and try to find a way to detect a network change on this device.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] DarrenHill:
Ah ok - I misunderstood that rc.local ran when you connected to a service, but I see from a little more looking that it's only for start-up.

In my case it would be the same kind of thing (I normally boot it up to connect, do whatever, then close it down) rather than connecting later, but you are of course correct that something more thorough and longer-term would be needed for general usage.

If you do have time at some point it would be appreciated, but what you've already contributed I think has already been invaluable (especially how to make the root password change be committed to flash and so stick). That said your original comment that Rav should have thought of this already is also all too true :)

Editted to add - a bit of Google-fu turned up "Network Manager dispatcher scripts" and "nmcli" as things that might help? But as I said, my knowledge of Linux scripting is almost zero (but I'm learning stuff looking into this little project), but it might perhaps help one of you more knowledgable guys towards something useful for all of us?
[Nexus 10 Accessories] msartor:
Yeah, I know about network manager. However the ravpower runs a very stripped down version of Linux. I have not checked out yet if network manager is being used or something else.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] DarrenHill:
I don't think it is - I had a quick look and couldn't see any files relating to it. Although I did see some files relating to uPNP there, which I wasn't expecting as I didn't think the device supported that yet (and I haven't seen any evidence of it in usage).

As I said, I've very much the noob here, but it's interesting stuff to play with and learn.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] msartor:
Found another bug in the device.

The device checks if it is connected to the internet:

- When it is connected to the internet (the globe led is on), DNS queries are resolved normally.

- When it is NOT connected to the internet, DNS queries will ALL resolve to the filehub's local ip (10.10.10.254)

I did not try to find out how this internet check works, but it is at least trying to do something on the internet (e.g. ping an internet address).

Now, it is nice that they build this check, however last weekend I connected my filehub to a non free hotspot via wifi. Now this hotspot wasn't free, meaning that you first have visit the hotspot's portal (to pay) in order to get the mac address whitelisted.

Only after this whitelisting the filehub will have access to the internet. So also the internet check would only work after whitelisting.

The nasty thing here is, that because of the failing internet check (not whitelisted yet), I am not able to reach the hotspot's portal screen as ALL DNS traffic is resolving to my filehub's internal IP.

Will investigate this as soon as I have time and try to modify the internet check. In my opinion the filehub should NOT care if it can reach the internet, it should only care if it can reach it's local gateway.
