New Router, New Streamer, New Questions

I have a Cambridge CXN100, my router died, my new ASUS comes with 2 USB ports. I have my external 3.0 USB HD plugged into the 3.0 port. It takes forever to load and be able to view my albums to make my selection in Streammagic . I know I have a large library (7.8TB) of music so maybe that's the issue. But my question is has anyone used the ASUS Media Server Setting? 

Thanks for your time and replies!

Sounds like your router doesn’t have Ethernet ports. USB max throughout is rarely seen in real world applications.A Gigabit NAS is probably more appropriate for your application.

The CXN100 has a USB input port for media, have you tried that? Or do you need it on the network for other systems? If so, the NAS is a good suggestion.

I have tried using the USB input but my collection is too large and since steammagic only runs on my tablet or phone, it times out after 30 miutes then I have to toally reload the library...very frustrating and time consuming' I need to be listening to music! I see my shelf life approaching! LOL
