USB Accelerator

USB Accelerator can help you significantly improve the USB performance of your router.

This USB Accelerator is not about Google Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), This is a script running on router based on Asuswrt firmware. If you are looking Google TPU, please check there.

Description

In the Asuswrt router, the default settings do not give you the best USB performance, So the USB Accelerator will help you get the best USB SMB read and write speed by changing some settings.

I didn't know the computer language before, this is my first script, if there have error please forgive me.

USB Accelerator script will

If you use Asuswrt-Merlin firmware or forks

Create a /jffs/scripts/smb.postconf file and change socket options and strict locking settings to increase SMB read and write speed.
Enable USB 3.0 mode, If your router has the USB 3.0 port.
Add an icon to WEB GUI to display the working status.
Automatically check for updates at each run it.

If you use Asuswrt stock firmware

Create a /jffs/scripts/sfsmb file and this sfsmb file will be change socket options and strict locking settings to increase SMB read and write speed.
Let the sfsmb run when you mount the USB device to your router.
Enable USB 3.0 mode, If your router has the USB 3.0 port.
Add an icon to WEB GUI to display the working status.
Automatically check for updates at each run it.

FAQs

Why is there no speed increase in the FTP?

It should only work in the SMB protocol. If you are a developer, you can help me make it work in the FTP.

Why is no performance improvement on my router?

First check if it works, and if yes, maybe some settings don't apply to your router.

Is it open source?

One hundred percent, check the license.
