Tantalus’ Firmwares
May 7, 2011 6 Comments
Most of my knowledge about N4B2 systems come from my previous experience with a N2R1 (exactly, a N2R1DD2). For that system I found two valuable sources:
- The NAS-Portal.org (german) site, more specifically the LG forum with posts such useful as “HOWTO: Enable SSH on N2B1 or N2R1” (in english). Remember: there’s no need to do this in N4B2 unless port 2211 is down in recent issues or root password is not empty.
- Tantalus’ Firmwares for arm-based LG NASes. Great project! If you have a N1* or N2* LG NAS, you should go grab it. It extends each firmware LG releases in a much convenient setup with extended functionality and lots of extras.
I loved Tantalus’ when I had the N2R1DD2. It’s a great work, install flawlessly and give you much more functionality, while preserving all that comes from LG. It’s a pity they’re only for arm; you can’t install them on the x86-based N4B2.
