USB Hard Drive will not go into standby

Nighthawk RAX 45 Router, WD My Passport 2TB USB 3 Hard Drive
I have seen similar questions posted but no solutions so I thought I would ask once more. I have used the same portable hard drive on two different routers and it's always spun down to standby after not being accessed for awhile. The previous router was a Nighthawk R7960P (many other issues replaced it with the RAX 45). Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
