Hello I have a USB 3.0 5TB HDD plugged into the back of the device, how do I get windows 10 to show how much space I have left on it? I wen't into the USB settings of my router and it don't show it. ...

Hello ZeroC00l
you would have to map the drive and look at it in windows.

Yes I did that, and I used that program, and it still doesn't show the size or how much is left on that drive, so do I just guess? :)

Hello ZeroC00l
I will have to do some testing with my own external drive and I will get back with you.

I am wondering if it's a premission issue with Windows 10? I don't know.

The thing is, I have seen videos and screenshots of others that where the admin page shows space, where mine doesn't, that's what's got me. The fact I cannot update my firmware that only my ISP can makes it even more annoying as they said they don't support my router and that I am on my own there. That I must contact Netgear to get my firmware updated. :(
