Nighthawk RAX48 STOPS WORKING when HD connected to USB

Whenever I plug my external SSD into this POS, the WiFi totally stops working. Can't connect to it at all! WTH, Netgear!? I paid good money for this thing, and it fails completely with a USB drive ...

    I figured it out. My SSD is 4TB. I found something that basically said the router can only handle up to 2TB partitions.

    After adding a second partition (so that both are set to equal size - 2TB), it is working, and I can access my files on the drive via readyshare!
