Are there any videos or reviews which suggest that I can use this for my personal NAS requirements? I only wanted to stream to a single device.

I think you are asking if you can use this router (with its USB port connected to a drive) as a NAS.
Not too sure about the performance, if you can maximize the 100MB/s throughput or not. But there is an option to enable SMB share to share the connected USB device, and it does have a USB3 port. Check online reviews on performance.

Yes, you're correct. Also, I looked up online reviews but couldn't find any performance details on using this router (with its USB port connected to a drive) as a NAS.

RT-AC68U, samba, speed & CPU usage

Hi all, Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, but I'm having samba problems with a USB3 drive. I'm using Merlin 380.59 on RT-AC68U. I have a 750 GB 2.5" drive plugged in using a USB3 enclosure (with a separate power supply) and shared using samba. The drive is formatted to EXT4...

Seems you can get around 25MB/s maximum, and both of its CPU cores reach 100% as per someone who tested it. I also have the same router (in access point mode though), might give it a try. Will share the results over dm if you are interested. Please note this is not meant to be a NAS, most likely use case for the USB port would be sharing printers over the network.
