Nighthawk R8500, USB 3.0 Flash Drive Not Recognized in USB 3.0 Port, only 2.0 Port
My Nighthawk R8500 Router with latest firmware, V1.0.2.54_1.0.56, will not recognize my SanDisk Ultra Fit 128 GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive when plugged into the router's USB 3.0 Port. The Ultra Fit is form...
Tech support followed up with me. Installing a firmware update, V1.0.2.64_1.0.62, which became available shortly after my post, solved the issue. - Carlos
Having the same problems myself. Have not figured it out either. I'm having problems on other devices identifing my 3.0USB 128GB drives. I think there are firmware limitations on identifing these drives.
Let me inquire this to our engineering team.
Recent firmware upgrade didn't solve my problem of recognizing Samsung 128GB EVO Select Micro SDXC Memory Card, 80MB/s (MB-ME128DA/AM). The 15 GB Sandisk I had installed was working fine. I used the same USB carrier. The larger MicroSD is just not being read. Any ideas here?
On my end, the router recognized a 3TB drive, and then I updated firmware, and now it won't!!!
- There latest update for the R8500 had a fix for 8TB drive detection. Would doubt a 128GB drive would have trouble being detected.... trhis is just sloppy firmware.
Im still waiting on a fix....USB's 15MBps is killing....I miss my 45MBps.
Common netgear....snap too it.
