This seems to be a never ending problem. R7000 USB 3.0 port. Had 1.0.5.70 firmware. Updated to 1.0.6.40 firmware. Now have 1.0.6.54 firmware. Same story USB 3.0 shows up,works until I reboot router. Have a SanDisk Ultra Fit 64gb. USB 2.0 works all the time. It's a repeat of everything I've read everywhere else. Are the Asus routers working properly (AC1900 series)???

    Hi Texxen,

     

    Have you tried to reset the router after updating the firmware? If not yet, please try to reset it and manually reconfigure the device.

      Yes, reset router, no USB 3.0.  (SanDisk ultrafit 64gb, NTFS format,2 partions) Works in USB 2.0
