Hello

I am trying to connect a Seagate Backup Plus Hub to my Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri-Band WiFi Router Model R8000.

And the size of that Seagate is? Netgear's ReadyShare support for USB drives is limited.

This list will give you some clues, although it is far from comprehensive:

I have seen rare reports of drives as big as 6 TB, but 4 TB seems to be the limit. Anything that requires fancy drivers, exotic formatting or supporting software is not going to work on what us essentially a very basic alternative to proper Ethernet NAS.

You have posted your message in the section of this community given over to Home WiFi Adapters. (This is easily done, given Netgear's impenetrable community structure.)

You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers about your hardware, in the appropriate section for your device. That's probably here:

Nighthawk WiFi Routers

I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.
