I have been using this router for a while as a main router with DHCP enabled on it and was hooked up to my modem. Recently i got a new router. Hence i moved this router to one of my rooms and connected an ethernet cable from my main router's LAN port to this router's LAN port. The main router is now running a DHCP server. I have connected 4 different devices to this router and a USB harddriver. I am able to access all of my devices from the main router but i can't access the USB drive. How can i access the the USB driver from my LAN ?

Did you put the R6100 into wireless access point (AP) mode?
Should be WAN (Internet) port, not LAN port.
