FAQs

When will the USB Accelerator run?

When usb device is mounted, the USB Accelerator will run once to modify the smb.conf.

Should I download USB Accelerator from GitHub or GitLab?

Please use GitHub and use GitLab only when GitHub is not available.

How to install from GitLab?

GitLab only supports TLS 1.2 and higher, If you use 380 stock firmware, you will not be able to install from GitLab, only wget with 384 stock firmware supports TLS 1.2. If you think your firmware supports it, please use the following command to install:

/usr/sbin/wget --tries=3 --timeout=3 --no-check-certificate -O "/tmp/usbaccelerator.sh" "https://gitlab.com/JackMerlin/USBAccelerator/raw/master/usbaccelerator.sh" && chmod 755 /tmp/usbaccelerator.sh && sh /tmp/usbaccelerator.sh --gitlab --shellui

Where should I report issues?

Why is there no speed increase in the FTP?

It should only work in the SMB protocol.

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.
