What are you "restarting"? The router? Something else?
Do you mean reinserting the USB device? (What is that device?)
If so, it does here. But have a different router.
What firmware do you have on your R8500?

What does that mean? Again, no problem here.

Sorry for the late response
When rebooting the R8500 (power off or via interface) with a Samsung, PNY or SNADISK USB - 3.0 64GB, 128GB or 256GB chip inserted and mounted using and configured as a ready share device. When the R8500 comes back up the device is no longer mount nor is is available to be mounted. I need to physically remove the device from the R8500's USB port and plug it back in before it is recognized. I might accept that I would need to remount it through the UI but the R8500 will not recognize the inserted thumb drive until I remove and reinsert it.
MY R7500 would always automatically remount a thumb drive and be ready for use without any intervention
