No USB disk after firmware update (R6400)
Hi, for some years, I have connected an USB SSD drive to my R6400 Wifi router, using Readyshare as a NAS. This worked flawlessly untily today, when I used the update mechanism of the router to update its firmware from 1.0.1.76 to 1.0.1.78. Since then, it does not recognise the USB drive any more. The USB lights do not light up (on the router; on the disk, they do). The administration interface does not report a USB drive.
When I connect the USB drive to a PC, it works and the data is still there.
In the advanced setupt / USB Settings, the entry "Enable any USB Device connected to the USB port" is enabled.
What is going on? Why does the router stop mounting USB drives??
Problem solved: I switched the language of the setup program vom german to english. Now the USB disk works. I have no idea if this solves it. But it does. Contrary to all the reboots and power-off-ons I did before that.
