R8000P router not letting me connect to news server
I have looked at all my settings and disabled that stupid Armor app and I still can't connect to my news server. Any suggestions?

FIXED:
I downgraded the firmware and now I can connect to my news server with no problem.
Also all my files on my connected USB drive are visible now.

I have an R8000P router and I have a hard drive plugged in the USB 3.0 connector, I do not get all the movies when trying to watch them on my smart TV.

Too many questions were asked in the same post.
Let me ask you this, if I had responded to all of your questions would you have been able to tell me my problem was that I was running the latest and greatest firmware?

Anything is possible. Due to different environments, ISP services and such and not having telepathy, there is a GOOD reason why we ask those questions. The more feedback we get, the better we can help you. Probably could fix what ever the issue is with recent FW IF we had that info. But since you downgraded, we'll probably never know. Good Luck.

My internet is frontier fios, I have no modem and the ONT is on the side of the house in a plastic box so I have no way of knowing the model #.
The problem was obviously some change from the last firmware to the current so to fix it figure out what they changed and have them put it back.
Don't take me wrong I do appreciate your time and help.
