Just installed a new router/ repeater at my home.

I needed to have a system which could let me share the contents of my external hdd without keeping my PC on and also download torrents independently. I got myself a multi mode router from Asus, RT-N13 U B1.
I had to do some research to install it as a repeater as I already had wifi router at my home and wanted to cover some dead spots. Now in the repeater mode with hdd connected it serves me three functions.
1. Allows all my gadgets, including computer, laptop, android tablet, and phone to access my hdd contents.
2. Download torrents independently without keeping my PC on.
3. Save the torrents to the hdd and so that there are no duplicates and all can share the contents.
However the download manager provided of not good, the download speeds are not updated Realtime and the downloads are slow.
यह उम्मीद के मुताबिक तो नहीं है मगर थोड़े सॉफ्टवेर बेहतरी से अच्छा काम कर सकता है।
