R7000 usb 3.0 doesn't work
Hello, My nighthawk usb 2.0 port works fine with both my "My book external hdds", but fails for both with the usb 3.0 port. I'm on firmware version, V1.0.5.48_1.1.79. Both external drive...
It's the latest firmware. I just ran a factory reset and then formatted the drive in NTFS. Seems to work now. Thank you.
Firmware 1.0.5.48_1.1.79? Isn’t that quite old? I have two R7000, both running 1.0.7.12, and I have no problem with USB 3.0 (well, except for the router’s USB LED light not being on, but that’s a different story).
There is also a never firmware version for R7000, see the sticky messages.
