    Thanks, Blanca.  That beta BIOS version was provided by support shortly after I bought the router because it wouldn't work with the Seagate 2TB hard drive and it was unclear where the fault was. Because of the VPNFilter threat, I have upgraded the router to a Netgear X10 and I found that it also does not work with the Seagate drive. Thus the fault was Seagate's. I've replaced the 2TB drive with a 4TB Western Digital drive and it performs properly, so the problem is solved.
