    Hi Cecemel,

     

    Welcome to Community!

     

    I did try the configuration that you have and I was able to access both USBs connected on USB 2.0 and 3.0. The router was set as router and AP mode also. Have you performed factory reset or reload the firmware?

     

    Regards,

Reuploading the firmware seems to solve the problem. Strange cause it is the same firmware as before.

I did not try the limited release firmware, it probably works also but I prefer the latest stable versions and not the beta ones.

Thanks for the help guys!

    Seems a number of problems have been fixed for some people simply by reloading the FW, especially when performing a factory reset to defaults in the process (which is highly recommended when load FW).
